A tale of a past friendship and its current “reincarnation” in the face of a sudden crisis - when they are thrust into the path of a man that ruined their childhood. A suspenseful read!

You had it coming starts very very strong, the first chapter is amazing! After that, it fizzles out unfortunately. The story set up is promising, but it just does not end up delivering any of this promise.

I didn't connect with Megan, Jess or Bridget, nor did I feel like their stories touched me in the way I was expecting.

Megan in her job as paramedic gets sent to a shooting and realizes its a man that ruined her life.
From the off this has the shock factor and twists and turns many times over always keeping you guessing.
I was not close in my assumptions as to what happened and the final twist was surprising.
Did find at times the book went a bit into exploring a few too many potential suspects and felt it lost its way a bit on occasion.
Tackles the difficult subject of rape and the challenges a court faces with that. Lots of characters to mistrust and perceptions of characters change utterly brilliantly.
Clever, challenging, mysterious.

I really enjoyed this book. As a fan of Nicola and Liane Moriarty I can see similarities in the style of writing and the three-dimensional nature of the characters. I really liked the main characters of Megan and Jess and the different ways they had coped with what happened to them, and I also liked the character of Bridget - I was rooting for all of them! They were relatable and the story was realistic., the kind of thing that could and does happen. The ending took me by surprise, which is always good. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable read.

The digital copy I received contained lots of typos - missing hyphens and spaces and no capital letter Cs throughout!
