This book truly had me on the edge of my seat, read in two sittings probably within 24hours! I just had to know what went wrong, how did it lead to all this! 
I have enjoyed Lisa Jewell's books in the past but this is by far my favourite! 
Set in time timelines until they merge to give us the full story, a story of pain, suffering and general weirdness! 
Highly recommend.
