Decided to pick up another Lucy Clarke book since I enjoyed The Hike a lot and it didn’t disappoint! Enjoy LCs ability to keep the story interesting the whole way through. This time I es hooked start to finish ( beginning of The Hike was more of a slow burn). LC has a love of twists at the end and I

didn’t expect Daniel to be the father but all the pieces fit together!! And the ending of her and Mike living incognito didn’t feel rushed but also Mike - what a piece of work huh

 

All in all great book , easy read. Really enjoyed - on to the next LC book!

The ending left very little to be desired for me. After all the events and build up, I was really expecting some fireworks, instead, I got 3 day old seaweed. 

Overall it was great up until the last couple chapters and once it was done I felt like what was the point.
