I’m sure the subject matter of sleeping with your best friend will be a familiar one to a lot of people! As to if it’s the best idea in the world? Well that is as individual as the individuals involved! Of course friendship and turn into love and im sure there are many happy couples out there that started this way, but i also imagine there to be a fair few ruined friendships or friendships that have changed out there down to that one impulsive decision!

The story centres around the love triangle between Georgie, Julian and Nikolai, a former Russian soldier who has issues of his own.

After sleeping with best friend Julian he decides to tell her that he has been in love with her for years, having never realising his feelings for her she takes a step back from their friendship having profound effects on them both.

Georgie then meets Nikolai and despite always being wary of love due to previous heartbreak falls for the russian soldier non the less, but as time goes on she begins to witness how deeply war-time incidents in Chechnya have affected Nikolai and begins to suspect that the Russian is hiding something terrible from her.

Then London gets attacked! Is she reading too much into the situation or is the situation a lot closer to home than she wants to even think about!

As for Julian, rejection hasn’t been easy for him to accept and it has turned him into her own personal stalker. Something no one needs or should have to endure. We get to see things Julian gets up to that Georgie doesn’t, emails, the middle of the night phone calls , the sitting in a tree to spy, following wherever she and Nicolai go, escalating to the point beyond unpredictability.

This book is full of twists and turns, misleading clues and the odd red herring that it makes sure it keeps you reading and guessing! And just to keep you on your mental toes even further there are more aspects to this book besides the relationships between characters. It deals in a very real sensitive way with the 7/7 London attacks as well as tackling themes such as terrorism, immigration, family, sexual relationships, trauma, secrets, guilt and regret!

I think that this will be on of those books that leaves a lasting impact on the reader by the end of the book.

Well worth a read, even if this isn’t in your normal genre of books. Very impressive debut novel and it will be very interesting with where the author takes us next!

Gripping storyline and plot and very unexpected from what I was expecting it to be. The author has written a very engaging stories which keeps the readers captivated to the stories .The plot and story was well developed . Definitely worth reading this book.

An enjoyable book where you get to see the dark side of unremitted love. Set in London in 2005 Georgie makes a mistake and sleeps with a friend Julian whom she has known since college. She does not have feelings for him beyond friendship but he declares his love for her which drives a wedge between them. Georgie meets Nikolai an illegal Russian emigrant whom has had issues in his past back home in Russia. Julian can not stand seeing Georgie with a lowly foreign labourer and starts a vendetta against them which ends in an ultimate showdown.. A truly enjoyable read. Highly recommended.

Wow, this book totally started my new year with a bang. Not at all what I expected and the blur doesn't give it enough credit.
There are so many great strands to the book.. Georgie's mistake sleeping with her friend, turns both their lives upside down. Julian's jealously when Georgie meets Nikolai, an ex Russian soldier, is frankly creepy and sad.
This book flowed at the right speed and was very clear throughout that the author put so much effort and research into making every page feel real and completing a complex yet engaging read.
If you're looking for something a little different from your normal thrillers then please try this real. It has a little something of everything.

This book gripped me from the very start, although not at all like my ‘usual’ reads. The characters were compelling and the storyline, although quite a simple base, made compulsive reading. The book is informative about life in the Russian army and Chechnya and it gives the book an interesting side. There is an alternative voice appearing sporadically throughout the book and I found myself quite wary, along with the main character Georgie, trying to predict what might happen. The whole scenario really held my attention as the problems both Georgie and Nikky face in life, relationships and work, are issues, fears and areas that we could all face too. A well-written book - thank you Jennie Ensor!

I gave this book 50 pages, but it never sparked any interest in me. Unfortunately I did not finish it, because I found it very boring.

She knew it was a mistake almost as soon as it happened. Georgie made the mistake of falling into bed with her longtime friend Julian. It was just one night and Georgie has no interest in pursuing more than their friendship, but Julian has other ideas. He becomes obsessively jealous of Georgie and she starts to be afraid of him. It’s around this time that she meets Russian Nikolai and begins to fall in love. Obviously, somethings got to give, but readers may be surprised at just what that is. Creepy and intense, a woman’s worst nightmare
