Anything You Do Say by Gillian McAllister
2.0

A rather insipid book in spite of having a very interesting concept as the foundation of the story. The problem here being the protagonist Joanna. At the very start of the book she's in a dilemma and the book branches off into alternating chapters depending on the choice she made, dial 999 and call the cops (reveal) or run home (conceal).
Joanna however is dumb, clumsy, disorganised has her priorities all confused and tends to overthink everything. So the story on either path is not going to be pleasant. It is in fact a painful read. The only reason I put an extra star and made it two is the way the book ends (though not fast enough).
