"The key for me were the characters. The four friends weren’t stereotypical, but complex, and flawed, and this made them very human, and very believable.
Set in the French countryside, which sounds wonderful, the story flicks back and forth between their school friendship. The present day reunion gradually reveals their past secrets, and how that had affected the people they were today. The author doesn’t try to rely on humour, but rather simple good story telling.

This is definitely an author that I will be looking out for again."

"I read this book in one day…I absolutely could not put it down. The story grabs you from the very beginning, and doesn’t let go until the last page. The four friends, Susie, Amanda, Izzy, and Tamsin, are so different from each other, and yet they all seem to belong together. Also, their differences give the reader a richer experience, as all four of them experienced the tragedy that ultimately ended their friendship in different ways. One thing I liked a lot about this story is that not all of the characters were likeable. They were real. They had definite flaws and complicated relationships, and it made the story much more believable.

I think this book will appeal mainly to women readers because of the attention given to the emotional and sexual development of the four main characters. However, any fan of modern fiction and psychological suspense will enjoy this book, and I feel free to recommend it to basically everyone I know.

Rating: 8/10"
