This book was a quick read, with a few points leaving me skimming to get through it a little faster as the pace slowed. And then there was a part towards the end where I was wondering how I still had 20% of the book to go when they basically solved the mystery. And they gave me more, for sure, but then it turned on its head. I would have given it 4 stars except there were parts of this ending that seemed almost like an afterthought.
But I have to say that it was clever in the journey of Jessica Williams and how mistaken identity could happen easily. Back story is very important here and you will not be given much info to help you until you get further along. So if you are that kind of person you probably will get slightly frustrated with the ending. But if you are the kind of person that wants to follow the path wherever it takes you, this is it!
Honestly, I could not put this story down, even with a few slow parts and a few story flaws.

Small Summary:
Twelve years ago Jessica Williams escaped a cult. She reintegrated into society, endured an uncomfortable notoriety, and tried to put it all behind her. Then, at an airport bar, Jessica meets a woman with an identical name and birth date. It appears to be just an odd coincidence—until a week later, when Jessica finds her bank account drained and her personal information stolen.
Following a trail of the grifter’s victims, each with the same name, Jessica gathers players, one by one, for her own game. According to her plan, they’ll set a trap and wait for the impostor to strike again. But plans can go awry, and trust can fray, and as Jessica tries to escape the shadows of her childhood, the risks are greater than she imagined. Now, confronting the casualties of her past, Jessica can’t help but wonder who will pay the price
