É o segundo livro que leio da autora, e apesar de ser uma temática diferente do "A Filha da Minha Melhor Amiga" é igualmente cativante.Durante o livro conhecemos a história de Serena, uma mãe de família amada e que tenta dia após dia esquecer o pesadelo da adolescência e Poppy, uma mulher que pas...
Put off reading this for a long time despite recommendations as I was expecting from the title and front cover cheesy chick-lit and an 'easy read'. Whilst it is an easy read, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is in fact a psychological thriller telling a dark story from the perspec...
If I could give this book zero stars I would.I don't think a book has ever annoyed me so much. I wanted to chuck it in at 10%. I wanted to chuck it in at 40%.

I’m not usually a fan of multiple person points of view by Koomson makes it work. She makes it cl...
what a let down!! I have loved all her previous books but this one seems to be written in a rush. Too many things happening..dates changing every so many paragraphs (this should have been in a different chapter so I wouldn't get a headache thinking ..where am I now??) the ending also was very wea...
I have read quite a few of Dorothy Koomsons books as I had become addicted to her style and entertaining style.However, this did not match the usual standard.I almost found it disappointing, especially at the end.Without giving too much away, considering the main character is undergoing a very tr...
