I bought this in a £1 shop and didn’t really hold out much hope for it but was gripped pretty much from the start and couldn’t wait to see what the outcome was for everyone in the story.

Since I stopped being an avid reader years ago, this is the book that I managed to finish in a night because the drama in the story is so intense. I am quite satisfied with the ending. I imagined I would do the same as Nina, and I love how she contemplated and think really hard between divorcing or staying before she decided anything.

What a crock of shit.
It's Eastenders meets Days of our lives. BORING!!
Someone not happy with their own lives, so they will do whatever to ruin someone else's.

My son picked this up for me for Christmas, he's 12 and chose it based on the picture on the cover lol. Tell you what though, I loved it and read it cover to cover in a few days. Ok so the phrase "I could write this stuff" rungs true, it's predictable but if it was that easy we'd all be doing it wouldn't we?

Anyway if you want a quick easy reading book with intrigue, jealousy, sibling rivalry and plain bitchiness then delve in.

This book took a bit of getting into.

I was compelled to keep reading this because there were characters i was just waiting to get their just desserts! I absolutely despised Susan as a character and i was annoyed in the end that she didn't get more a comeuppance. Aside from that though this was an enjoyable read.
