This book was enjoyable I didn't think it ended well. Not sure what all the hype was about. It's average as far as thrillers go.
Grace's sister Millie was the best character in the book.

I'm probably about 20 years too late reading this one! It first published in 2000 and I know I would have loved it then.
It wasn't laugh out loud funny but she certainly brought a smile to my face every few pages.
Definitely choose Moving or Life Death and Vanilla Slices over this one as they are superbly brilliant Jenny Eclair novels.
This one was super slow building up to the main drama. It really only picked up from about 250 pages in despite the incredibly short chapters.
Rereading this one in another 20 years time will make it incredibly nostalgic for anyone who wants a snapshot of middle class London life of the late 90's early 2000's.
Content wise the fat shaming throughout was a bit too much and cringeworthy for me.
