Description from Indiebound.org:
Lila Bennett's bad choices have finally caught up with her. And one of those decisions has split her life in two. Literally.
In one life, she's taken hostage by someone who appears to be a stranger but knows too much. As she's trapped in a concrete cell, her kidnapper forces her to face what she's done or be killed. In an alternate life, she eludes her captor but is hunted by someone who is dismantling her happiness, exposing one secret at a time.
Lila's decorated career as a criminal defense attorney, her marriage, and her life are on the line. She must make a list of those she's wronged--both in and out of the courtroom--to determine who is out to get her before it's too late. But even if she can pinpoint her assailant, will she survive? And if she does, which parts of her life are worth saving, and which parts must die? Because one thing's for certain--life as Lila Bennett knew it is over.
I don't ever copy and paste a book blurb, but I thought it was so much easier than trying to explain the plot in my own words. This was a strange story of parallel universes and one greedy human. In the one "Captured Lila" was kidnapped after breaking up with Sam at the restaurant. In the other universe, "Free Lila" was able to escape capture outside of her mother's home and works to change her life. Both situations are the result of Lila's horrible life decisions. She is not a nice person, but you can see her start to realize the impact her decisions have made on the people in her life. Like her husband and her best friend. I had figured out who had kidnapped Lila pretty early on, but I didn't know why. -CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS - I know what happened in the end with Lila, but I am not sure that we got the same kind of closure for both versions of Lila.
Bottom Line - The Two Lila Bennetts is a classic tale of redemption with a little bit of thriller thrown into the mix.
