Czy wymyślone wspomnienie jest mniej prawdziwe od rzeczywistego? Delta Dawn fotografuje dziecięce przyjęcia urodzinowe. Kiedy zostaje zatrudniona do sfotografowania uroczystości jedenastoletniej Natalie Straub, bycie obserwatorką nowojorskich elit przestaje jej wystarczać. Zaczyna realizować plan: chce należeć do rodziny Straubów. Przejawy ich pozornie idealnego życia to jednak wciąż za mało... Delta uświadamia sobie, że może fałszować nie tylko fotografie, ale i rzeczywistość. Fotografka to pełna przenikliwych psychologicznych obserwacji i niepozwalająca się oderwać historia zazdrości i obsesji. Opowieść Delty aż do szokującego zakończenia sprawia, że czytelnik zaczyna wątpić w to, co już wie. Wnikliwa, trzymająca w napięciu i hipnotyzująca najbardziej wciągająca powieść z suspensem, jaką czytałam w ostatnich latach.
