This book is like a soap opera revolving around a square with strong characters. The characters are very strong and the author has blended the personalities in gently throughout the book. The book is so well written you feel like you actually know these people. Although I do know several people who this book could be about. It was seamless and although there was no major plot twist or gimmick the book was so hard to put down. It's a story about life. A story about secrets and what the secrets can do to your life and sometime what the secrets stop you doing or make you miss out on people or events. A story of community and how helping each other can really form a tight neigbourhood. Loved this book and will watch out for more
