First off, I would like to say a huge massive thank you to Readers First and Hodder and Stoughton for giving me the opportunity to read an early copy of this book- not only that, but an actual physical proof copy! My squeal of delight was very loud!
So, to the story, which is told from the perspective of Beth, wife and mother of two. Beth is driving her youngest child Ben to a football game, when she realises she is near to where her estranged friend Flora now lives. She decides to pull up outside the house, while she there she sees Flora pull up onto her driveway. Flora gets out of her car, opens the back door for her children to get out, and two young children emerge. But Flora’s children should be a similar age to Beth’s, not still little children. When Flora calls these children by the same names as her “original “ children, Beth is baffled as to how this can be, and also concerned by the the absence of the youngest child, Georgina.
The book moves at a fairish pace, I didn’t want to put it down and I was desperate to know what was happening with Flora and her children. At times, I thought parts of the story could have been pacier, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.
