Pleasantly surprised by this one!
Enjoyed the twist and I actually thought it worked quite well.
My only issue was that ideas/ characterisations for the characters were already very strong so by the time the twist had been revealed I found it hard to look at some of the characters differently.
I also found the women lost elements of themselves - like Miranda and what was the depth of Jane?
I still found it an easy, interesting read that wasn’t as predictable as I was expecting.
A super holiday read!
