I have read and enjoyed all of Catherine’s books. However, I have to say this is probably my least favourite. 
 
I found myself completely gripped from the start, with no real explanation into what is going on and how the 3 perspectives are linked, I had to find out more. It follows Corinne, Adam and Romain who all play different roles in telling the story. 
 
I honestly didn’t see the ending coming. I kinda had an idea into what had happened to Sarah about halfway through the book so that reveal wasn’t a surprise, but all the other ones were. 
 
However, in terms of the writing, I found the first 2/3rds well paced but then the last third just seemed a bit rushed to get to the ending. 
 
Overall, I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to seeing what else Catherine publishes!
