i felt like the coma chapters were really slow and dragged for me. the twists were okay but some of them seemed so pointless. some of the twists were unnecessary and awful. it brought the book down so far for me. there was no reason for some of the book content to be in there.

There's 3 perspectives that we follow: Amber in present day post-accident, the run up to said accident and diary entries from 25 years earlier. There's just so much that happens across those 3 perspectives that it doesn't seem like they link up to the accident. However, it's around 3/4 of the way through that it starts to unravel and become clearer just what has happened. And nothing is what it seems...
I quite enjoyed this book, just like Feeney's other novels. However, I feel like I was left with more questions than answers by the end.
