REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK | #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through.” —Reese Witherspoon

Evie Porter has everything a nice Southern girl could want: a doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence, a tight group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.


The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job.

Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job isn't like the others. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes—especially after what happened last time.

Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there's still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn't be higher—but then, Evie has always liked a challenge. . . .

    What a different and exciting book this was! It was such a page turner. Only complaint…it ended. I could have moved right into Book 2 to find out what happens to all the characters.

    It was a slow read. The main character was not someone who you engaged with. The villain wasn’t fully developed.

    I read some amazing reviews of this book and was looking forward to enjoying this thriller, however, I found it hard to follow at times and eventually just wanted to get to the end and be done with it!

    Such great twists and turns! Or has me literally re-reading sections and “leaning into” my iPad to wonder (did I get that right)/

    A twisted mystery that keeps the reader guessing until then end. Intriguing character development throughout. Would like to read more of the main character in later books.
