This book tells the story of Carolyn Woods and is based on a true story. If it had not been a true account of what actually happened to her, I am sure I would not have continued with the story and dismissed it as ridiculous.
However, the fact that Carolyn really was taken in by Mark, and was totally deceived by his web of lies makes it an extraordinary read. There were many times where I was shouting NO at her through the book, also saying "don't believe him, don't be silly, how can you be so gullible?" because to me there were too many red flags going up that would have alerted me to his double life.
Nevertheless, the book was well written and obviously portrays an accurate account of Carolyn's life with Mark, and for that I can only thank her and hope she will help future women (and men) from being conned in the same way.
I liked the cover and felt it matched the book perfectly.
