Beth will live happily ever after with her little girl and her soulmate. Cath will go back to her abusive husband. And these two women will never cross paths. But you will be wrong.

Critic Reviews

"Taut, gritty and compelling. This book deserves to be huge." (Louise Jensen, million-copy best-selling author of The Sister)
"Intense, shocking and so real you can literally feel its heartbeat...." (Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me and The Party)

Shocking!
I don’t often write reviews, I don’t often listen to audiobooks that shock me. This book, expertly narrated, was full of surprises, shocks even. I applaud the author for her bravery in a no holds barred telling of taboo subjects both in the description of her heroine and of the nasty attack on which the story is centred.
A gripping listen, thank you.

Brilliant read
I listened to this book in 2 days. I could not put it done. Until the very end, it keeps you gripped, not letting you know which way it will go. I highly recommend this book.

Brave, thought provoking and very real world
A really challenging story that addresses some sensitive issues without sensationalism. The ending is very unexpected but the journey is what makes this book so memorable not the ending (good though the final chapter is). Superb!

interesting idea poorly executed.
I'm shocked at all the good reviews, found it to be repetitive, chock full of lazy stereotypes and cliches. It's a shame as it was a good idea but only finished it to see what the plot twist was. The dialogue totally unrealistic and writing almost childlike in places. Wont be reading any more of her work.
