Description
Oli and Joe are identical twins. But they will never be the same...
Lizzie Truman gives birth to her sons at thirty-one weeks. From the start, the differences between the twins are clear. Oli is bigger, stronger, healthier. Joe is small and much less robust, his future inexorably altered by the trauma of his premature delivery.
As soon as the boys are well enough, Lizzie checks out of the maternity hospital and leaves her old life behind.
By the time Oli and Joe are grown, Beth has a new name, a thriving business, and she has successfully raised her sons alone.
But when the truth about their past emerges, the twins are forced to reassess everything they thought they knew about their mother, their upbringing and themselves.

I was completely hooked from the beginning and it was so very hard to put down. It was an amazing read. Being a sister of younger twin brothers I was interested to read about Joe and Oli's relationship. Lizzie was such a courageous lady full of character. grit and determination despite the hurdles she faced. A wonderful story of love, friendship and success against all odds. I loved the twists and turns as the story developed.

.Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review. I always love a Caroline Bond novel so I was excited to read the new one The Day We left. I have to say that I absolutely loved it and is now my favourite book by Caroline Bond. It literally has a little bit of everything in it and was a very emotional read. The bravery Beth showed was awe inspiring and I just wanted to hug her so badly. A captivating story that was totally believable and relatable. I highly recommend this book and have given it 5 stars
