Don’t get me wrong, still a very good chic lit, very much a page turner. However reading it after reading Milly Johnson’s first book, meant that it pales slightly for me. The frustration of knowing the duplicity in the plot is almost too much, I kept reading as fast as I can just to get to the point where it can be all revealed. I do like that although much was revealed at the start, there were still a few more twists to be had so it wasn’t all too fraught.

It did leave me (a mother of nearly 3 year old and 9 month old) feeling quite broody at the end of it though.
