The Girl She Used To Be
by David Cristofano
This is the first novel from this author. Premise: girl who has been in the witness protection service since she was 6 is now 26. She's moved around about five or six times, and has that many identities. Both parents are dead and all she wants is to be her real identity. Problem: she and her parents witness a mob killing and the feds are sure the mob is still looking for her.
So, she's on the move again. First night in a hotel, the son of the mob family finds her. Surprise! He doesn't want to kill her -- he wants to protect her and give her a real life.
Who should she trust? Where can she turn? What is the cost of freedom?
Ultimately, the ending was not as satisfactory as one might hope. However, it was more realistic and I guess that counts for something. This was a relatively quick read with some good characters, even if the girl did seem a bit whiny at points.
