This is a real triumph for the author in terms of believing one thing of the main character but then as the book developed you come to see her in a differently, such great writing.
As the story unfolds there are more twists than I thought possible - such a fantastic page turner.

Now this had me on the edge the entire time! I went into thinking the main character was a bit weak and annoying but it's so cleverly written and as the story unfolds, more and more twists and turns unfold and it just had me absolutely hooked! An explosive page turner that seemed like it'd be super predictable but actually end up being so much more than I bargained for. Very very well written and very cleverly laid out to unfold bit by bit

This is one of those books where the tension grips you right from the start and only intensifies as you delve deeper into Claudia’s tumultuous life. At first, I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about Claudia as a character, but as her predicament started to spiral out of control, I found myself becoming more and more invested in her story. I couldn’t help but wonder what on earth was happening and how it would all unfold.

Just when you think things couldn’t possibly get any worse for Claudia, the author throws in unexpected twists and turns that leave you breathless. This read had me on the edge of my seat, eagerly flipping through the pages to see what would happen next. It felt like navigating through a complex maze, with each new revelation adding another layer of intrigue and suspense.

What sets this book apart is its clever and masterful execution. The author skillfully weaves together multiple storylines and threads, creating a web of mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end. The way the plot unfolds is truly remarkable, with every piece of the puzzle fitting together perfectly.

I have to admit, this book was a real page-turner. I found myself completely absorbed in Claudia’s world, eagerly devouring each chapter to uncover the truth behind her tumultuous life. It’s a testament to the author’s talent that they were able to create such a captivating and gripping story. If you’re looking for a book that will keep you hooked from start to finish, this is definitely the one to pick up.

This book was really good. A brilliant read kept me hooked. There was so many twists and turns I didn't see the ending coming

This book was full of so many intense moments. It kept the suspense throughout and it kept me hooked right until the end.

Claudia’s life is falling apart. Her best friend has just committed suicide and she thinks her husband is having an affair. To make things worse, the last messages she sent to Jaz, her friend, were said when she was drunk and angry. So angry that she deleted all messages to and from Jaz on her phone and even some pictures of them together. On going out with a group of her friends she finds one seems to know something about Jaz’s suicide but won’t say what and its as if she is blaming Claudia. When Claudia drinks too much and later finds herself not in her own bed, things are going from bad to worse. It appears that everyone around her is suddenly getting at her and those she thought were her friends are falling like leaves from a tree. What is going on and who is targeting her?

This is a book where the tension begins right at the start and ramps up from then on with Claudia’s tumultuous life. Did I like Claudia? I wasn't really sure early on but her spiralling predicament grew on me and heck, I wanted to find out what on earth was happening. When you think your life couldn't get any worse…Oh boy! A read that left me reeling where there are more turns than in a maze and threads that wound and wound. A very clever premise, brilliantly executed and one I found a real page turner. Wow!
