Thanks to NetGalley and Orion Publishing Group Trapeze for giving me an advance copy.

I understand that this is Laura Jarratt's adult fiction debut as she has previously written YA fiction. When lawyer Lizzie's car crashes, she faces a dilemma of which of her two daughters inside the car to save. This thriller explores the aftermath of the emotional dilemma Lizzie experienced as well as looking at the impact of grief and loss on a family.
This novel has a lot to recommend it. It moves along at a fast pace and I was intrigued to find out who was responsible for the crash. However, I didn't quite believe in Lizzie and it all felt a bit rushed. A promising debut nevertheless and I will definitely look out for Laura Jarratt's next novel.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a digital ARC.

It is the ultimate test: when pushed, which of your children do you save? That’s what Lizzie is faced with when her car plunges into a river, trapping her and her two daughters. While Lizzie gets out, she knows she can save only one child – but who does she pick? While a choice is made, she has to live with it, and the knowledge of there being a police investigation surrounding the accident. But things take an even darker turn than you imagine as a family already drowning in grief are pushed to breaking point. Everyone needs to discover what happened on that road – even if they don’t want to face up to the truth. This twists and turns in ways I wasn’t expecting but I raced through it. I can imagine mothers reading this and wondering how they would fare if faced with the same dilemma.

* spoiler alert ** Quite a thought provoked... you can only save one of your kids,so which do you choose,and how do you and the family cope with the guilt afterwards.
Especially as some of you feel you caused the death.

There were some very creepy moments in this book,knowing somebody ran them off the road and then was watching them.
I suspected all the nearest and dearest friends...
I enjoyed the family drama side of this book more than the confession and reason why I think. How each of the characters felt and how the family had lost it's dynamic with one very important part missing... But as a whole,the book was a good read.
Definitely recommending it to people

As a mother of two children myself I absolutely loved this book. It stirred up some deep and raw emotions. It kept me gripped all the way through. I could relate to a lot of the thoughts and situations. I will definitely be recommending this book and I look forward to more from this author!

This was a book with an interesting premise. It dove straight into plot and was quite a fast paced novel. I read this book over a few sittings, and really enjoyed it.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this E-book to review via Netgalley.
