Abby Graven, hermit and supermarket cashier, obsesses over a life that didn't pan out quite the way she envisioned. While she obsesses over her long-lost friend Elise Van Dijk, even going so far as to scrapbook her "glamorous" life, she really has no idea what's going on behind closed doors in Elise's life. Told from 1st person POV from Abby's perspective, readers go on a dark and twisted journey of psychology where ambition is sure to get the best of one, if not both, women.
