What She Left made me question just how 'perfect' lives really are behind closed doors! Helen Cooper's seemingly model life unravels right before the reader's eyes, and I couldn't help feeling empathy for Sam in trying to understand exactly where he had gone wrong.
Rosie Fiore plots Helen's journey through flashbacks to Helen's old life, which helps the reader to understand her mindset and the reasons behind her leaving all that she knows for a brand new start. It was heartbreaking to learn how much weight Helen carried around with her, and just how brave she was to keep going no matter what.
Safe to say, I was on 'Team Sam' right from the very beginning - all I wanted was for the family to be reunited! But by the end of What She Left, Rosie Fiore proved that sometimes going your separate ways is exactly what you need.
