You think you have the perfect life.

Critics Review

  • An emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped until the end.

    Sunday Mirror
  • A moving read from one of our fave authors

    Fabulous Mag, Sun on Sunday
  • The narrative dips back and forth with various points of view from stunningly drawn characters and I devoured it in one long sitting. Take this to the beach, or indeed anywhere — I promise you won’t regret it.

  • Prepare to totally forget about your family as you become immersed in someone else’s.
