Holy wow! This book! What a ride. I have felt ripped apart, completely uncomfortable and enraged, and I cannot recommend it more!

A fantastic take on a duel POV and multiple timeframes where we have a recently separated Mel retelling her painful story from the past while watching a similar story play out in current life with the couple upstairs Lori and Flynn. However this time Mel isn’t just telling us the story but she is slowly involving herself in the story, however is she doing this to save Lori or is she saving Mel from the past. 

You will feel anger, betrayal, sadness and empowerment in the wonderful Aussie novel set on the beaches of Australia.
