What an incredibly addictive debut novel! I have read this in two days and just didn't want to put it down.
I loved the writing style, and being in the first person I really felt connected to Caroline! I still can't quite get over the sheer amount of lies and deceit from Jack, her ex-husband. We learn from the outset how he turned everyone against Caroline during their divorce, making them think she was mad, the one lying and unfit to look after their two children. They were therefore removed from her care, living instead with Jack and his mother.
However, Caroline discovers a journal in Jack's holdall, part of lost luggage wrongly delivered to her home and the house they once shared. This details all of his affairs; the women's names, photos and even the marks Jack gave them out of ten! This discovery sparks Caroline's road of revenge as she pledges to get her children back.
I really liked the twists along the way on Caroline's journey and seeing the lengths Caroline went to in order to try and prove to the world the truth about Jack! The change in Caroline's thought processes as the story progressed was interesting too.
This really was a clever premise; I can't wait for Jacqueline's next novel!
