This is a good book with some good twists and ultimately mostly good character development.

I’m glad it finished on a positive, more hopeful note for both Kate and Marisa.

I was gripped by this read in such a good way! I’m a big fan of Elizabeth Day, so it was great to read some fiction by her.

Not a fan of anything too unexpected, but desperately wanted to know what was going to happen, so neglected every day life and read this in two days.
Like the style of writing, though sometimes the description of what was being worn felt a bit unnecessary.
Would recommend

I kind of have mixed feelings on this book. I loved the main plot twist of the book but I knew why it had happened straight away so when the next twist came I wasn’t surprised. The blurb led us into a false sense of the story and I really liked that. I am so glad that Kate and Jake got a happy ending and Marisa got better and accomplished her dreams. However, I found characters infuriating at a lot of times which was annoying. There would be a twist in the book and then a long flashback to drag out the tension, which I hated. The flashbacks did provide context but I felt they were long winded and not interesting. The book did drag at some points and was predictable but it had a great twist, which was written very well.
