For one thing, both the back of the book and the book description say that Casey is being stalked by the man that murdered her best friend. That's just wrong. She is a patient's rights advocate at a hospital, and the woman who murdered was one of her patients. This isn't a spoiler, it's just the basic plot. she barely knew the woman, met her one time. So that's quite different than best friend because she doesnt even have one in this book. Anyway, Casey thinks she is being stalked, but at the same time, she is living her life, taking care of her dad, who has just come to live with her, and has Alzheimer's. Because my grandfather died of that disease, this part of the book really touched me and also made me sad. It's not just a passing theme..but we get to see part of the book from his point of view. In fact, one of the things i like, is that the pov switches - from casey, to her dad, to a prisoner in jail, to the guy who is accused of killing that woman, to his brother, to his girlfriend, to both of the guys casey likes, and to a psychopath. we cant tell who the psychopath is, and till near the very end, it was hard to tell which of the two men it was. the author did a great job with that. it wasnt an awesome book, but the three elements of the disease, the pov's and that you really couldnt tell who it was, kept me reading for more.
