I was expecting so much more from this book. I had read a view reviews left by other people before I started it and they all seemed full of praise.

However, I felt that this book just did not live up to the hype. The story is a very slow burn, but Jo is just one of the most annoying characters in the world. She is stupidly blind in regards to what is happening around her and is solely focused on her own well being.
Now, I normally don't mind an unlikable main character, I actually really enjoy them if they are written well. But Jo was just insufferable.
I felt that most of the story was all over the place, there seemed to be a huge disconnect between what the author wanted to convey, and what actually happened.

The twist at the end was while predictable, also out of character for Jo.

I had to force myself to continue reading on for the most part, and I did not fully enjoy the book as much as I was expecting too.

2 stars.

Another fantastic novel from Caroline England. A brilliant, twisty drama. I loved it. The book was extremely well written and I particularly enjoyed the alternating past and present. We could really understand the relationship between the two main protagonists through learning about their shared past. An absolute whirlwind of a story with jealousy, secrets and lies. The book was dark and weird at times but that made it all the better.

I received in advance for you just copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow – this book was a very slow burn but about halfway in the drama eat up and that last half is a crazy crash until it finally goes off the rails. These people are scary, and not in the horror movie sense of the word. This will definitely have you sleeping with one eye open when your childhood best friend is in the room
