This beautiful story about childhood friends who grow up, marry and have a family, whilst keeping emotionally resonant secrets from each other was a wonderful wonderful read. It made me teary at the end and their lives panning out in present time and flashback was pitch perfectly plotted to maximum effect.

Holly Seddon is proving more talented and, for me importantly, more diverse in her storytelling, with each passing novel. I'm a huge huge fan. This is a very different kettle of fish from her last book but just as full of excellence. Loved it.
