This one is so messed up!

The story starts slow and it will sound like it's just another teen drama. But. Yes, keep on reading the book. First, because the characters are convincing and the writing doesn't make anything boring. Did I just mention that word? Because it doesn't fit here. 

Of course, you will come across the characters as unstable, immature but, as transparent as the story seems, you will not be able to figure out things until 80 percent of the book as why the story goes on the way it does.

But trust me, things make sense in its own weird, senseless, psychological thriller kind of way towards the end.

Get ready to get acquainted with one of the most unforgettable character in 2021. 

I finished up the book in just a few hours. I read each and every word cover to cover. It's that good!

I want this as a movie please!

Thanking the publisher for this advance reading copy.

I haven't read something this creepy and interesting in a very long time.

Did you say it's a debut?

I mean wow! Kudos, new author!

I am so ready to read whatever the author writes in the coming future. I am so impressed.

Wow! 

If you ever wanted a mother and daughter book that compares to “We Need to Talk About Kevin” you found the right book! Of course there are many differences including the ending but the writing has the same about on intensity and darkness around a family theme that “Kevin” does.

I think the book worked with flipping from mom and daughter and to the past. Flash backs have to be done right and I think the author has mastered it because I was never confused and I was actually looking forward to the flash backs  to London.

The one thing I could do without was the descriptions when it came to sex or the characters thinking about sex, I don’t think it helped the book at all to be graphic about sex but when it came to Murder or hurting someone it was blasé. I felt uncomfortable during Vivians descriptions and honestly leaving them out or taking them down wouldn’t hurt the plot

Really enjoyed this - a very clever psychological thriller that left me wrong-footed at every turn. Single mother Rachel's life is turned upside down when she starts giving art classes to a handsome young man, Alex. Rachel and her teenage daughter, Vivian, have been living in a small village ever since leaving London when Vivian was still in primary school. 
Rachel and Vivian are both hiding secrets. But unknown to both of them, Alex has his own secrets too. As Alex grows closer to mother and daughter, the new life they've created together starts to fall apart - with devastating consequences for all three of them.

His book was written really well but it just wasn’t for me unfortunately..............................................

Terrifying thriller about a psychopath who, as all psychopaths do, thinks everyone is fooled. But as this story unfolds, it turns out that the psychopath is exposed in all their ugliness. A decent story, albeit with relatively flat characters and a predictable denouement.

I received an advanced readers’ copy in exchange for an honest review

I loved this book. I didn’t know where it was going half the time but that was a good part of the fun.  The teenage female protagonists/anti-heroes are great girls to spend time with and I didn’t want to let them go. Can’t wait to read more from this author

5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A totally gripping fantastic book full of lies, decent, betrayal, murder and so much more for readers like us that love a twisted tale.  I absolutely loved it! Highly recommend

A good read. 
Rachel has made poor decisions in the past, but she has always tried her best for her daughter. When Vivian needed a fresh start, Rachel didn’t hesitate to move them far from London. She just wishes she could shake the nagging doubt that Vivian is hiding something.
Vivian isn’t like other teenagers. On the surface she seems the same as her friends, but she knows she is different. When enigmatic Alex takes an interest in her, Vivian’s cool demeanour hides an intensity of feeling she has never known before. His touch sets her skin on fire. 
Mother and daughter are both keeping secrets. 
Thanks to NetGalley and Canelo for giving me an advance copy.

This was an extraordinary thriller that poses some really uncomfortable questions as to the lengths parents are willing to go to in order to protect their young. Is there a cost that might be too high?
