It wasn't for me!
I didn't connect with any of the characters & the author mentions her previous plots far too much, yes the reader needs a bit of context but 13 times in 25% is just OTT.

This really was a book of two halves I loved the first half, became really disappointed in the second half.
⭐ The beginning of the novel is fast paced & punchy it draws you in quickly & I couldn't can't wait to see how it all develops.
⭐ I absolutely adored the premise, the split second decisions or events that happen outside of our control that lead our lives down completely different paths.
⭐ The characters are full of depth (well aside from Paint guy!) & so easily relatable. You find yourself really sypathesising with them, almost feeling the palpable chemistry or remembering that head strong teenage attitude....
☆ I felt the second half of the novel lost momentum & was needlessly drawn out.
☆ I became so annoyed/disappointed with Lara (I can't say more without spoilers!).

Well drawn characters & an intriguing plot lulled into a false sense of security... only for it all to be completely unturned upsidedown
- I absolutely loved it!

Enjoyable collection of short stories, some were better than others - aren't the always!
Christie writes like no other cleverly executed & witty.

Oh I bloomin' loved this book!
The perfectly imperfect characters, that stunning backdrop it is so more-ish. As the suspense builds & chaos ensues nothing will stop you turning the pages.

A delightful amusing read!
It flows easily & you can hear the different characters jumping off the page.
I did find Effy a little annoying, I wanted to shake her a few times.

Absolutely magical, mesmerising & so more-ish! This novel is totally out of the relms of what I'd usually read but the imagery was exquisite, the story beautifully written I'm so glad I did.
