My husband uncharacteristically got me this book (he normally moans I have too many and doesn't like to add to the collections!). We had been to see Blood Brothers in London (which is a fantastic show by the way) so I think he picked this up thinking that it had something to do with the show. How wrong could he be! This story is so predictable and I did not really take to any of the characters, especially Alice. And was it me or did the characters talk to themselves quite a lot? Not the story for me I'm afraid, thanks goodness it did not take me too long to read it.

Gripping story, couldn't put it down. The characters are easy to love.

Feels like it was her first ever book as it seemed quite badly written, stilted, too much drama so quite unbelievable, nine of the characters were relatable, no resolution between mother and sister. It got tworse stars cause it did keep me till the end but I mostly skimmed it. Some bits dragged and yet others happened so fast .... like where was the devastation and horror over the baby dying? Too much narrative as well.
