MOMOBOOKDIARY REVIEW

Exciting and gripping story!

The book is set in the UK and USA and takes a bit of thought to get into the story.  It is told from the point of view of two girls, Anna and Rosie, who experienced very different childhoods from each other.  

I enjoyed the twists running through the book. The story touches on heartbreak, friendship, family, loss and love.  I would highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House UK and Lizzy Barber for the opportunity to read and review this novel prior to publication.
