My Review:
I really love this author’s books and I started reading this book without having read the blurb so the opening chapter came as a complete shock to me!
Right from the first page I was completely consumed by this novel. The characters are so real, and I felt for all of them. The story is told from several peoples’ points of view and it’s so difficult to put this book down, just wanting one more chapter..
The setting was particularly perfect for me, as it’s set in my home city, so I could envisage all the places so well For me, it really added to the authenticity of the story
The secret that Rowan has been keeping is revealed quite early in the book, but the aftermath of the crash, and how everyone deals with the complexity of the relationships and the consequences of their actions makes for a book that is full of emotions and very human.
This is a book to read when you have no other plans, as it’s completely impossible to put down.
For me, it was a heart-breaking, emotional and all-consuming read. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
