She is selfish, self-centred, an awful friend who uses and discards people only to feed her starving ego. She is the ‘Queen Bee’ of her little click of entitled kids, wanting for nothing and taking it all unapologetically. Her wealthy but neglectful parents have given her the type of lifestyle where everything has always been served to her on a silver platter, with no responsibilities or consequences for her actions. Everything in her life appears to be perfect. This is an emotional roller-coaster that will take you out of your usual literary comfort zone, grip you and keep you at the edge of your seat, begging for more. Nothing about this book is cliché, been-done-before or mundane. There is also a sublimely heart-melting love story embedded in the midst of one of the most moving, relevant and attention-worthy plotlines I’ve had the pleasure of reading of late. There’s a proverb that says, “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.” This is the truly beautiful story of a young woman’s journey from egocentricity to self-awareness, from having regard only for herself to being willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of another human being.
