The astonishing debut novel from international number one bestselling author Paullina Simons

Tully Makker is a tough young woman from the wrong side of the tracks and she is not always easy to like. But if Tully gives friendship and loyalty, she gives them for good, and she forms an enduring bond with Jennifer and Julie, schoolfriends from very different backgrounds.

As they grow into the world of the seventies and eighties, the lives of the three best friends are changed forever by two young men, Robin and Jack, and a tragedy which engulfs them all.

Against the odds, Tully emerges into young womanhood, marriage, and a career. At last Tully Makker has life under control. And then life strikes back in the most unexpected way of all . . .

The true perilous and pitiful inside of a femme fatal

Like the nature of this book's heroine, Paullina Simon's writing sucks you in, making you forget everything else in your life, leaving you at the end - still hungry...

complex characters

I saw that another person reviewed this book saying the characters weren't believable, but I'd say that's only if you're not being honest about true human nature. Tully's reactions to her life aren't expected, but honest. This might actually be one of my favorite books ever.

I wanted to like it.

When I got to where I had about 10 hours left I realized I was feeling sad and mopey. The narrator does a good job of expressing Tullys depression. I wished I could say I loved it, but the characters were just too...unbelievble and obnoxious.

Scothed

I loved it. But what a pity she didn’t wake up about Robin earlier!!! Will there be a sequel?
