This was almost a 3... but it got exciting towards the end (typical Fredia McFadden style!) I found some characteristics of the people quite annoying and the parts about infidelity were uncomfortable. But still, a good story overall! I wished we knew more about Bobby.

A good story to wrap up however I found it a bit drawn out and not as much happening as in the first book. With the first book I couldn't put it down but I had to really push myself to keep reading this one. My favourite bits were the parts with Rachel.

I really enjoyed this book! Possibly my favourite Lisa Jewell book so far. Fast moving and keeps you interested due to the different perspectives. Can't wait to read the sequel!

An odd book (not my usual style) but enjoyable. I liked that some of the chapters were on the shorter side and how each detail eventually linked!

I found this really hard to read. Not just for the content but due to the overexplaining and longing out of every detail. I found I had to skip a fair chunk to get through it.
