Wow, my first book by Dani Atkins and it won’t be my last. The story centres around Maddie, Ryan, Chloe and Hope and is told mainly from Maddy and Chloe’s perspective. An absolutely fantastic book with well developed characters which has twists and turns and a conclusion which you won’t see coming. If you just read one book this year make sure this is it.

Firstly thank you to Netgalley and publishers for the advanced copy

This is an honest review

So how can I review a book when I'm afraid to write anything for fear of leaving spoilers? This book is an emotional rollercoaster that will have you laughing and crying in equal measures. It will make you think. It will lead to open discussions, what if? Would you? It will stay with you long after the final line is read

This is a terrific book and 20% into it some of my friends had already pre ordered it

Pre cook your dinners, get on top of everything and treat yourself to solitary time to get involved in Maddie's, Ryan, Chloe and Hope's lives

Keep tissues close by

This is my first book by this author and certainly won't be my last

Enjoy

Just wow!! I was emotionally exhausted after reading this. The characters were so wonderfully thought out and I found myself rooting for all of them!

Oh I loved this book. I have enjoyed all of Dani Atkin’s previous books so I was happy to find this on Netgalley. I read it in two sittings sunbathing in the garden and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a sweet and clever story and I did not see the end coming at all! Highly recommend reading it. Just lovely.

This has to be the best book she’s written! Absolutely loved the characters and a real tear jerker of an ending.

I loved this book. I have read all of Dani's and I enjoy every one of them. - I love the way she writes stories that almost have a supernatural or fate aspect in each one. Are we responsible for our own destiny or is there something more at work. I have to say my favourite book was Fractured, that was a total shocker to read as the end was so unexpected. So to be able to carry on producing good books must be quite a task!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Maddie has it all, a fabulous life, wonderful fiancé she is due to marry soon and she is pregnant waiting until after her wedding to share the news. One day tragedy strikes and she loses everything in the blink of an eye. I want to say so much more but I don’t want to give any spoilers.

I started this book yesterday on my commute to work and I had to breathe very deeply to stop myself ugly crying though this. Finishing it this morning I’m glad I wore waterproof mascara as I was a wreck. Dani’s books have that ability to reach into your chest, rip your heart out, do a little dance on it and leave you broken but in a good way!
