I think I’m obsessed with Lisa Jewells books. This is the third book written by her that I’ve read. 
I give this book 4.75 Stars. It was an amazing story. Somewhat bizarre but brilliant. The characters are beautifully described and the book is so well written, I couldn’t stop reading. The only reason I didn’t give this book 5 stars is that some parts of the plot where predictable, but I didn’t mind because there where still a lot of unpredictable twists and I didn’t expect the ending at all.

Bit predictable and I realised what was happening as the story went on. I hoped I’d be wrong and there would be a big twist but I was disappointed.  However I did enjoy this and it did keep me wondering what was happening!!
