Marion and Tom, two young sweethearts, meet Patrick, a beautiful and enigmatic artist, and their whole lives change.
This novel was devastating and tragically beautiful. It is told through diary entries from the past and present, unravelling a hidden secret that impacted the course of everyone's life.
My Policeman was written so fluidly and it was such an enjoyable read. I was sucked into the lives of our three friends and by the end of the novel I was heartbroken and disgusted. I finished the book a different person to when I started. I felt every emotion from happiness and sadness to anger and frustration.
I cried, a lot. The ending was beautiful and I spent days thinking about it. A story of love and lies, that will impact you to your very soul.
(Marion is literally the worst person and ruined everything for everyone in my opinion, no spoilers will be said, but she is a bitch.)
