Just finished reading this book. This book shows to what extent a person goes to pretend that they care. Seriously! The story revolves around Emira Tucker and Alix Chamberlin. Alix is a white woman who runs an online business where as Emira is her black babysitter. The only link between them is Kelly who was an ex-boyfriend of Emira. Alix and Kelly had a misunderstanding in their high school and they use Emira to show who cares best. What I hated is the pretending. Both Alix and Kelly are the same in many aspects. They went out of the way to pretend that they care. They pretend so that they can feel good about themselves. They both are disgusting. Another thing is Alix has some kind of obsession with Emira. She constantly worries about Emira's opinion of her. Just quit it already. I should say that for a debut book, the author has done a brilliant job and I totally recommend to all.
