The "now" sectionsReads like a horror movie. Grace, our main character, invites Anna into her home because Anna is/claims-to-be the the half sister of Charlie, Grace's dead best friend. Anna is to stay with them for a few weeks while she gets a new job and a new apt. The few weeks stretch on and on. Anna quite obviously is sabotaging Grace both at work and at home, doing her best to destroy Grace's already Rocky marriage. Anna nearly kills Grace by getting the hyper-allergic Grace a hazelnut chocolate. (Anna then takes Grace's place at a business dinner for Dan, Grace's husband." Grace also is being followed by someone in a red car.
Grace somehow doesn't associate any of this with Anna. So . . . either Grace is dumb like the horror film heroine or our author has something else up her sleeve.
The "then" sections concern Grace being tormented by one of her "friends.' She receives nasty letters, a box filled with dog excrement . . . mean girls. Again, the hints are that it is Charlie--whom Grace trusts and loves--who is doing this to her. Grace again is obtuse.
Hoping I'm all wrong!
