I've written and rewritten this summary and can't seem to get out what I want to say the way I want to say it but here's to trying...

The book is about Rainy (aka Summer) who has survived the death of her father, living in a cult with her mother, the death of her mother and finally leaving the compound & being adopted all while she's was a child.

The majority of the story takes place when she's grown up, in a relationship with a man she's in love with and is a famous artist. She never let her photo be published for fear the man brainwashing everyone would find her and punish her for leaving. She takes a girl's trip to Vegas unwillingly (which is close to where the compound was located). She goes back to the town of Friendship had digs up 20 year old evidence as proof of what the man did to everyone who lived at the compound. Someone sees her, recognizes her and she's forced to face her past head-on to save one of her friends.

I enjoyed the book. It was an easy read. I finished in about 24 hours. The author was very clear on who said what and whether we were in the past or present so it was very easy to follow. There were a few points in the story that could have used big twists in the storyline and it would have upped the thrill factor.

I wish I could give it a 3.5 star review. It wasn't just average but wasn't great either.
