Blurb
Everyone makes mistakes. But does everyone deserve to be forgiven?
She runs past the tinkling of children’s laughter that fills the park. Heart hammering, she reaches the riverbank, breath catching in her throat as her eyes take in the small body, tangled in the reeds, pale and lifeless.
Three years later.
Claire’s life is picture perfect. A new home in the countryside. A new-born baby. A doting husband by her side.
But behind closed doors, her life is falling apart.
And when a threatening note is posted through her letterbox, saying she doesn’t deserve her daughter, it’s clear that someone knows about her past…
Someone knows that Claire doesn’t deserve her perfect life. Someone’s going to do everything in their power to destroy it.
My Thoughts
Okay, I read this on my Kindle so it took me a while because I read a chapter before bed. I found the story to be okay, overall. I felt that the plot was slower than it should have been, things seemed to be happening slowly and it did make the story drag. I felt sorry for Claire because he mother-in-law was quite an unpleasant woman. I can’t imagine having to deal with someone like her, and she was my least favourite person in the book. That’s including the ‘baddie’ in this story.
I can appreciate the author’s intension in making the events that happened to Claire a slow build up to making her feel ‘crazy’ but they felt a little too slow for me. Although, it was well written, I just found that I couldn’t really sympathise with Claire, because at times I found her to be aggravating and a touch annoying.
But don’t let me stop you. Please, read it yourself and let me know what you thought.
Thank you to Bookouture for my review copy.
