Emily Lucy Wallace has had the "perfect" life. Her father died at a young age, but she always had her grandmother. Until she died while Emily was off at school. Her mother tried, but she lost a part of herself when her husband died. Emily didn't hold it against her, not really. She went on to marry a man with a good paying job who liked her to stay at home with their perfect daughter, Rachel. Except, Emily has been having dreams her entire life about being a girl named Lucy who has a drug addiction and Emily's perfect husband isn't so perfect with her not so perfect best friend. When Emily is hit in a car crash her glimpses into Lucy's life may have just become a permanent transfer.
This book was an impulse download and I almost didn't read it. I don't read addiction books since I had to deal with it too often growing up as the child of someone always high. Still, I gave it a shot since it was possible it wasn't about addiction. While it has addiction in it, it isn't overwhelming and didn't detract from the story. The author was able to stick to the struggles both Emily and Lucy were going through and display Lucy's issues without it being an overwhelming focal point.
I feel the author did a great job of keeping things within the realm of believability with each girl's life as long as you suspend belief on the multiple lives and glimpses into each things. Emily's life was plausible as was Lucy's and you were able to understand and relate to each girl as the story played out. I love everything that happened to Emily's husband and "best friend", but I don't want to give anything away. Just know if you are petty you will enjoy that part as well.
