We swapped partners for one night. Just for fun. We thought we could handle it. We were wrong. The next morning, I creep home full of guilt... and walk into something far worse. There are no rules now. And not all of us will survive.

This is the day my life changes forever. It started so normally. The alarm went at 7am. My husband made bacon and pancakes for me and our seven-year-old daughter, the kitchen full of chatter and laughter. He gave me a quick kiss, told me he loved me, grabbed his wallet, and rushed off to work. Just an ordinary day. Until I get the call from the school. It was Tom’s turn to pick up our daughter. He must be held up for some reason. I find Tom’s phone under our bed. Now I know there’s something seriously wrong. I scroll through his messages. A text sent late last night: I KNOW EVERYTHING.

We're the dream family. Just ask my hundred thousand followers. A dream cottage in the town I grew up in. A fresh start for ten-year-old Cora. The mums at the school gate welcome me straight away. Coffee after drop-off. Drinks at the pub. Then a message appears from a number I don't know. B***H. Just wait until your new friends find out what you're really like. Someone gets into my house. Someone posts things only I should have seen. Someone is tearing my perfect family apart, one post at a time.
