wasn't expecting much from this book as when I started reading this book I feel like I can predict what coming next but the last chapter really was unexpected. It made its impact. it was just on another level it really made me emotional. overall I just have to say one thing it's a nice book.

This is my first Cathy Sharp book and I think I can say that I have a new author to add to my favourites list! This centres on brother and sister Charlie and Maisie but there are quite a few other characters too. There's heartache, happiness, romance and a murder or 2. I'm looking forward to reading more.
