: I can’t help but feel like I missed something with this story, not because it was bad, it really wasn’t, it was bloody brilliantly BUT the synopsis says it’s ‘deliciously funny’ I didn’t find the story funny at all, I found it utterly heartbreaking but in the best way possible, this is why I love reviewing books and reading the reviews of other people because it truly fascinated me that people can get such different things from the same story.
It’s told from two different perspectives, Phoebes and Roberts, who employ Mandy to become the full time live in carer for their dad James, at first Mandy seems like the perfect addition to the ‘family’ she’s taken the pressure off them both and left them feeling that their dad will be well looked after, but once they start visiting they notice James deteriorating rather quickly & they learn that Mandy has for her feet well and truly under the table so to speak, could she be up to something?
They make it their mission to dig up the dirt on Mandy and just as they feel they are getting somewhere something tragic happens that puts them back at square one!
It’s a book full of secrets and twists that I personally didn’t see coming, and deals with some sensitive subjects in such a beautiful way. The last part of the book had me crying on more than one occasion. I know this review is short and for that I’m sorry, but I don’t want to ruin any of the parts that make this story something that I feel you need to pick up.
Just trust my judgement and give it a go ☺️
