I read this to see if it would be a good book to order for my Fundamental English students, and I think we’ve found a winner. It’s got what my adult students need: an interesting, adult-focused story with compelling characters, written simply with low vocabulary variation. I liked that the characters did unexpected things, and it was not easy (for me anyway) to predict how the book was going to go. Sometimes with high-interest/low-literacy books, they can be a little formulaic and predictable. (And sometimes that’s what people want—something comforting that delivers no surprises.) But not this one!

This is a rapid reader book for adults with lower level reading skills. It was a bit different from what I expected, but once I just accepted it for what it was, it was a quick and fun read.

A super quick, satisfying read with great characterisation. Ah, the consequences of 'it seemed like a good idea at the time.' It was like getting a delicious meal, full of nutritional yet spicy comfort food, when on the run!

It was a short book, you understand the relevance of the title once you are halfway through the book. Missy Turner is happy with her life, when suddenly everything falls apart. She loses her job, her husband is sleeping with someone else and is held hostage by a robber at a Cafe.
I felt the story was incomplete. It kind of finished too fast. The ending has left me confused
