No Way Out

The story was great but got to a place where the same two pages were repeated until the end of the book and it never let me read the rest of the story. Very disappointed that and wish I hadn’t bought the book.

I usually love her books, especially The Sisterhood, but the ending of this one was “meh”. It started out interestingly enough, with the heroine, Libby, recovering from a traumatic brain injury that left her with amnesia about what happened. She just knows there is someone to fear, so she goes to major lengths to change her identity and provide high tech security in her new home several states from where it happened. She doesn’t even tell her mother or her best friend where she is, and becomes a recluse for two years, never even going out in her yard. When her ex boyfriend contacts her friend’s husband asking for money, she starts to remember the events that led to her injury. She knows her boyfriend had pushed her, and although he tried to keep her from falling, he left her for dead without calling 911. So now she assumes he’s trying to find her to finish the job. Then interspersed with her story, the author tells us about all her neighbors and their stories, including a woman who gets a temporary restraining order against her abusive, alcoholic husband (who ends up cleaning up his act, although she still plans to divorce him). Ho hum. When the boyfriend finally comes to her house,the neighbors manage to restrain him, and Libby has him arrested. He protests that all he wanted was to apologize for leaving her after the accident, but she doesn’t know whether to believe him or not, and presses charges for the assault. That’s it. We are left hanging and don’t know whether he’s telling the truth or not. Very disappointing ending. Wouldn’t recommend.

Boring! Kept hoping it would get better but never did.

Boring storyline and uneventful ending.

Terrible read. Nothing ever happened. One of her worst!!! Don’t waste your money.

Five stars!

This book had a good storyline, but it seems that the writer good bored with it because the ending seemed rushed. There could have been more detail about the efforts by the person hired to find Ellie. There could have been a little more drama about Rick’s arrival at her home. It was all a bit too tidy.

Story starts off great. Keeps you wondering why Ellie has become a hermit. Living in New York there was a incident, that cause Ellie to wake up in the hospital with severe head trauma and blacked out what happened. She is afraid but doesn’t known why and goes into hiding. After 2 years of being a recluse and never leaving the house, a young boy befriends her dogs and in turn her. She finally is taking baby steps to re-enter the real world. There is mystery, what happened? Learning to be a survivor and some interesting characters. Just the ending to me was anti-climatic.  I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story.

This book is so awful boring the only reason I finished it was because I paid too much money for it.
