Saffron is trying to deal with the death of her husband. Things seem to be going as expected until her fourteen year old daughter Pheobe has revelations to tell.

My Thoughts: May Contain Minor Spoilers.

I read for book group many moons ago 'My Best Friends Girl' and said I would never read another book by Dorothy Koomson again. However Ms Koomsin has turned a corner with her later novels and they have a darker side to them, making them psychological thrillers.

This book for me had a lot of issues all in one story, such as eating disorders, teenage pregnancy and a murder. I felt quite dizzy at times keeping up so I can only applaud Saffron who has to deal with them all.

I quite enjoyed the book and read it very quickly as I wanted to see where the story was going. I did feel however that the ending was very quick and it almost concluded on just a few pages. The story had the build up all the way through then last few pages it was over, I also felt it was slightly unrealistic and a let down after all the build up. I also felt that all the characters had an ending that fitted in just nicely.

However I did enjoy the book and it was a read that kept me wanting more and did keep me guessing till the end. ( )
