so-soI really wanted to like this book: it felt like it was heading towards great and then fell flat. The ‘secret‘ was just not something anyone would really care about if she‘d told it. Same with the other one. Lots of weird interactions and reactions that just during ring true for the relationships. Not really a spoiler but the second secret (PND) might be one for some people so being careful.
Not terrible but a bit disappointing.
so-so“The Fallout” follows the story of Liza and Sarah, two mums just trying to do their best for their children. It‘s full of drama and is a bit of a roller-coaster read, putting a smile on your face one minute and bringing a tear to your eye the next. I enjoyed this myself but think it would be more suited to an audience of parents.
My full review is up on my blog now 📚
pickThis was a really interesting story dealing with a lot of difficult subjects. The story flicks between different narratives and sections written in WhatsApp text which adds a modern edge to the story. The plot itself builds steadily and ends much better than I expected. I wasnt keen on the very end section but it does remain true to the initial story.

pickA compelling tale of friendship turned sour, how things can spiral out of control very quickly and the guilt which ensues. There is a fantastic and diverse cast of believable characters from the neurotic Sarah and the anxious Liza to the sophisticated Ella. Nobody is perfect in this book as, of course, no-one is perfect in the real world. An engaging, absorbing and enjoyable page turner pertinent to today‘s world.
