My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author’s books so was very excited to be invited onto the blog tour for her latest book. I was definitely not disappointed as this was another gripping and unsettling read which was very difficult to put down.
Firstly I love books set around old friendship groups as you never quite know what secrets are going to be reveal and where the story will go. This story was no exception and I enjoyed getting to know the three couples better. I definitely wasn’t expecting the story to go the way it did and the many twists or revelations took me by surprise. Just when I thought I’d figured out which way the story was going to go, something happened to change everything.
The pace of this book was brilliant and made it easy to read. There was always something going on to keep my attention and I found myself unable to put the book down as I really wanted to know what would happen next. There are some fairly dark subjects covered in this book but the author has a way of including them without them seeming overdone but still written in such a way to make them affect you. I found it very compelling and quite powerful to see how these were dealt with, especially how it affects everyone after everything has come out.
Huge thanks to Sriya from Michael St Joseph for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
