Tear Me Apart by J.T. Ellison
Description
The follow-up to her critically acclaimed Lie to Me, J.T. Ellison’s Tear Me Apart is the powerful story of a mother willing to do anything to protect her daughter even as their carefully constructed world unravels around them.
One moment will change their lives forever…
Competitive skier Mindy Wright is a superstar in the making until a spectacular downhill crash threatens not just her racing career but her life. During surgery, doctors discover she’s suffering from a severe form of leukemia, and a stem cell transplant is her only hope. But when her parents are tested, a frightening truth emerges. Mindy is not their daughter.
Who knows the answers?
The race to save Mindy’s life means unraveling years of lies. Was she accidentally switched at birth or is there something more sinister at play? The search for the truth will tear a family apart…and someone is going to deadly extremes to protect the family’s deepest secrets.
With vivid movement through time, Tear Me Apart examines the impact layer after layer of lies and betrayal has on two families, the secrets they guard, and the desperate fight to hide the darkness within.

My Review
**Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-MIRA for providing me with a advance reader copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review.**
Phew. What A Book! This was truly un-put-down-able. I started it at 9.30pm and kept at it till 4am. Had to stop because I had work to get to in the morning and I couldn’t wait to finish it. If you are a thriller reader then you will probably figure out some of the plot early on. But it doesn’t matter. Not one bit. This book is not a whodunit. It’s not about who, it’s about why and how. The emotions in this book are phenomenal. Everything is seemingly perfect in the world of Mindy, Jasper, Lauren and Juliet when you start reading the book. But things are rarely as they seem. There are subtle hints sprinkled all over and that is what makes you want to keep reading. Even if you figure it all out you will still want to read this book. It’s the kind of a book that makes a speed reader want to slow down, to soak the book, to marinate oneself in it! The subject matter of depression and suicide is a complex and difficult one and the author has done a brilliant job of covering it in a meaningful manner. The characters are complex and you can feel strong emotions for them when you read this book. It’s a poignant read. You want to like or dislike the characters but if you read carefully enough you can’t put these characters in a box of good or bad. These complex personalities are made up of so many shades of varying colors that’s you end up not knowing who you want to root for. You will crave a clean satisfying end and Ellison delivers just that. I would highly recommend this book.
