Description

'My HEART!! Heck! Needed to sleep so badly but those last few chapters had me HOOKED... The twists and turns were constant... Just really, really didn't want it to end' Reader review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THEN
It's Rachel's favourite night of the year: the end-of-summer beach party with all her best friends. They're going to do something wild: break into the abandoned funfair. It'll be a night to remember. And none of their lives will ever be the same again.

NOW
Years later, Rachel still lives at home with her mother, trying to keep the memories of that night far from her mind. But when her old friends return to the sleepy seaside town unexpectedly, Rachel is forced to face up to the past. Who saw what? Who lied to who?

And why does the old funfair still have such a hold on them all?

A totally gripping psychological thriller with a twist that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Dandy Smith and Becca Day.

Everyone is gripped by The Funfair:

wow.
poor Rachel. well kind of. because things like this must seems so scary not least because you are faced with something you feel you can do nothing about. but know something or someone is wrong. and that person is now hear. in your life. after nearly destroying it. so what do you do?
Rachels life changed forever the year her and her friends were to go their separate ways for university. then one night at the funfair changes everything.
Rachel has spent years trying to start her life again. but the past is coming back. the past is definite coming back and everything feels so very wrong with the whole situation.
this is a brilliant book. the twists. the pacing. the plot and characters within it was just fantastic.
