This moved along at a fair pace and was reasonably entertaining. It has a slightly uncomfortable feeling as the portrayal of what happens when rumours get spread is all to close to reality and how quick people are to make a judgement. I really enjoyed the build-up to the reveal.

That said it once the twist was out (which I hadn't expected), it followed a somewhat predictable outcome and the last sentence was exactly what I expected and I could almost have written it myself.

There were just one or two things I found irritating and which meant I marked this as three stars rather than four. I'm not a mother, but one thing I got sick of reading was the main character smelling her son and reflecting on how good he smelt. Yes, I get it and you're trying to show us how loved he is and how important he is to you, but I just got tired of reading this. There were one or two cliched moments where I felt other examples could have been used.

That said, this has a good concept, is a fast read and keeps you wanting to turn the pages and that in itself is positive.
