challenging mysterious tense medium-paced

2.0

I didn’t know what to expect going into this read, but it wasn’t really for me. I wasn’t connected to the characters. I liked the short chapters and dual POV, but sometimes got the 2 POV’s storylines mixed up. The ending was a little shocking, and wrapped up decently. But overall, I wasn’t invested in the story. Just because it wasn’t my thing doesn’t mean it’s not yours!

5.0

another book that kept me furiously turning the pages. i was HOOKED from the first chapter. i devoured this book every spare second i had. i loved how there were two voices telling the story, and the way we jumped from past to present. the story was also hard to predict - the ending truly shook me. i literally closed the book and burst into tears from shock. it was so sad and yet it fit so perfectly. a poetic ending to say the least.

Such a fun read of splendidly-written twists & turns. I thoroughly enjoyed journeying with the characters’ and was kept in thrilling suspense right ‘til the end. A recommended read from me! Now off to find more Sally Hepworth books…
