Reviews

[Georgina · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really expected to like this - I normally like these sort of books, even if it's just for a bit of easy reading. But, I just really didn't click with it. I didn't think the writing was particularly good, and thought the storyline was just incredibly dragged out. I actually ended up looking for reviews to tell me what had happened so I could bail on it!

Loved this book so much I bought three more by the same author

[Tracy · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5/5. The story centres around a third character perspective which is confusing and draggy from the initial starts. Once, you are comfortable with the author writing it was a simple and easy read.

i love the writing she brings the east end to life and i love how she referances charecters from other books in the ones she writes afterwards.
