I was lucky enough to be given a copy of this book from Netgalley and Macmillan publishers. As a big Lucy Diamond fan I was really excited to see this book and knew that I had to get my hands on a copy asap. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The premises of the book, the plot and the characters were great; but altogether it just didn’t work. There was far too much going on and I found myself confused with regards to who was who and what was happening. I also found that within chapters the scenes would change to different characters which was just too much to take in. I feel like this book would be brilliant in short stories or as completely different novels. I really enjoyed the story of Bunny and feel like this alone would have been great. I do really love Lucy Diamond and her books, and I’m all for books packed with drama but I felt like this went too far and I just did not enjoy it.
