Is Jazz honest about herself ?

Post by Akshi Porwal »

In the book, Jazz is shown to be the most trustworthy friend to Zia but her actions are very suspicious. No one knows of her family or her having inherited a fortune. She is only confident when dealing with Baxter. She take Zia to New York and takes her out to dinner when it is clearly a threat to Zia's life. Does anyone else feel that Jazz has some hidden skeletons in her closet too ?

Oh, I think that Jazz is far from being what she seems. After all, Zia says that they are all chameleons and Jazz is just as likely as any of them to be hiding her true colors. I know that there is a sequel coming, and I expect that more will be covered with this. But I'm not convinced that Jazz is one of the "good guys" and perhaps is very much as sinister as Baxter. I also suspect that there might be more going on between her and Jazz's husband. There are too many loose ends in the book and certainly, more intrigue will follow.

Nope! Not for a minute. I absolutely agree that Jazz is not who she appears to be. Hope that the next book will show what she’s been hiding and who the real Jazz is……

I firmly believe that she is very suspicious, if I know her in real life, I would probably keep my distance from Jazz. Waiting for the next book, and I am very excited about what will happen!

I totally believe she's not showing her true self. Most of all this best friends, with best advice, best motive, move of them always have something up their sleeve, waiting liking a time bomb to release.

Jazz always seemed suspicious to me. For her to have been Zia's closest friend she left out a lot of important facts about her life. I also cant wait until I'm able to read the next book. I hope I like it as much as I liked this one.

I also thought Jazz's character was too wonderful to be true, but then again, the lesson we should all take away from the novel is to never divulge too much information to a friend who rarely speaks about themselves. I'm looking forward to the next book, which will show how jazz can change its appearance. Zia, on the other hand, is someone I pity. I'm looking forward to seeing how their friendship develops once the truth about Jazz is revealed.

No, I don't believe that Jazz is perfectly innocent either. I have a suspicion that she might also be getting blackmailed/forced into being a part of this, but I guess we'll just have to wait for the sequel to confirm or deny any theories.

Yeah, I think Jazz is the same as other characters in this book because Zia was feeling that she is also the same as Baxter. I think we will see it in the next sequel.
