I'm giving this 3 stars because it moved pretty quick and the suspense was built adequately, even though the characters were boring. Starting with the stalker: he was written like a robot, what was his deal? We never found out. The stalker/victim relationship didn't have an interesting dynamic, like a romantic history that went bad; the stalker basically drugged the victim, raped her, and then started obsessing and stalking her. The victim, Clarissa, (sometimes written in 1st person, sometimes 3rd), then meets a guy at jury duty, Robert, and they have very boring, contrived conversations (no small talk, just deep, insightful tidbits right away--although she doesn't tell him about her stalker); meanwhile, the trial fit into the theme of abused women, but was uninteresting to me. The climax that went down involved Clarissa, stalker, and Robert. 
 Bottom line: recommended for those who read for plot and don't care about character development. 
 Also, as a side note, there is a part with Clarissa and her friend, in which the friend is made to look ridiculous for getting a boob job, which I felt was insulting to women who choose this, and ironically judges women unfairly, which is what the book is trying to decry (rape victims who are blamed and not believed). So unless Kendal intended her Clarissa character to have this fault (judging her friend) as irony compared to the book's theme, (but I don't think so), then this part is offensive to me.
