Hello book friends, I hope you are all doing well?
While I'm in lockdown I've been getting through some great reads, this one was no exception
This book starts with every parent's nightmare, Marin our MC of this story is currently Christmas shopping with her 4 year old little boy Sebastian, Bash for short, it's busy and there are people everywhere. She gets a text from her husband Derek, and takes her eyes off of Bash for 1 minute while she answers it, when she looks down, Bash is not there!
Jumping forward to over a year later, the FBI are still coming up with nothing, Bash is still missing, Marin is barely making it through the day, and she has just found out from her Private Detective, that Derek is having an affair with an Instagram famous twenty-something year old!
Marin and Derek are very very wealthy, and this book just shows that money can't buy you everything you want......or can it?
With twists and turns i didn't see coming, this one will keep you up reading way past bedtime!

Hello book friends, I hope that you are all doing OK?
I absolutely loved this book, it was a slow burner up till about quarter of the way in, and then all of a sudden the WTF started falling out of the sky, and trying to dodge them was a head spinner let me tell you!
This book is told from 2 POV, Nina who is a con artist, and Vanessa who is an Instagram Influencer.
Nina learned everything she knows from her dear old mum who is also a con artist, but she has now fallen ill and is no longer able to hustle like she used to, her medical bills are stacking up, and Nina doesn't know what to do except what she is good at, Hustling.
Vanessa is an "it" girl, she is famous just for being famous, and rich!
She has millions of followers who love her, but for someone who is so loved, she is also very lonely, that is why she jumps at the chance to make new friends when she meets a lovely woman with her handsome Irish boyfriend.
But is everything as it seems?
Unreliable narrators and twists and turns a-plenty in this thriller which is soon to be made into a TV series starring Nicole Kidman, so read it before you watch it otherwise it will spoil it for you.

This story is about friends, 3 groups of friends in this case, they have been best friends since the wives met at Antenatal/Parenting classes, and they have been in each others lives ever since, 15 years to be precise. In fact, all of their children are also best friends, and 2 of them are actually dating!
Every week they have a dinner party, some are nice and posh, other times a takeaway, but they swap houses every week, and each week they talk and dream about what they would do if they ever won the lottery.
The 3 couples are in a Syndicate, and each week Lexi collects the money from Jennifer, Fred, Carla and Patrick, but one night there is an argument between them all, while having the usual Saturday dinner night, things get said, and tensions are high, so much so that words are exchanged and Fred, Jennifer, Carla and Patrick pull out of the syndicate and go home.
Jake and Lexi are naturally upset that they have fallen out with their best friends, but carry on with life as usual, Lexi works at the local Citizens Advice and helps lots of underprivileged people with things like debt management, housing, immigration, and landlord-tenant disputes.
As Saturday rolls around as usual, Lexi comes home to a very excited husband, their lottery numbers have come up!!
After a couple of calls to the National Lottery, it is confirmed that they are winners, and they have won £17.8 Million!!!!
Jake has dollar signs in his eyes, listing what he is going to spend the money on, and Lexi is trying to come to terms with the windfall.
There is just one problem! Jennifer, Fred, Carla and Patrick want a cut of the money!
There are also a few other stories woven into this one very cleverly, and what started out as a compelling read to find out what Lexi's family was going to do, actually turned into a very suspenseful, gripping read, a few times I shouted NOOOOOO while I was reading it.
This is a fantastic read, and I flew through the book and nearly read it in one sitting, I would thoroughly recommend it.
**Thank you to HQ Stories and the Author for sending me a copy of this book**

Welcome to the book that makes you feel that you have it Allllllll worked out!!
Oh Yes!! There I was reading this shouting at the book (as I do) "IT'S THIS PERSON, I KNOW IT IS, CASE CLOSED!"
Turns out I might have been wrong, all of my smugness took a huge turn when BAM, in comes a twist, and I thought, Hmm didn't see that coming, and then BAM, in comes another one, and to top it off BAM here's another one to add to the pile.
So, I don't feel so smug anymore, as I had no idea LOL
This is a difficult one to review as I don't want to add any unintentional spoilers, so all you need to know is this:
Anna is a newsreader
Jack is a DCI
Jack and Anna were married
Jack and Anna are now divorced
A murder brings them both together again
One of them could be involved
One of them could be lying
Secrets and lies a-plenty
If you love a twisty thriller that will keep you on your toes, and your head spinning, this is the one for you.
