I loved the complex characters throughout and it was an easy read and irresistible page-Turner. However, I was left a little underwhelmed by the ending and felt like parts were particularly rushed. Good debut book though!

I have read another Harriet book and not a fan. But this one was fab really enjoyed it. Slow to get into but after a few chapters it picked up pace and was an addictive read. Struggled to guess and was very unpredictable.

Brilliant book, was not expecting the ending at all. Had a great plot and good staging for the characters, you change your opinion constantly throughout the book. Usually with books you can guess the ending however this one had you gripped to find out how everything worked out. This is a good book for someone who likes the deceit of characters but also a story that has depth behind it. I would recommend to anyone.

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records. This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader. A domestic abuse psychological thriller. A toxic marriage witha strong female barrister lead but somehow she was really unlikeable. Whilst it was an ok read' at times it was uncomfortable which as manipulation goes it hit the spot. Not as expected a d very dark
