I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this story to begin with and it took me a couple of chapters to get into the plot and the characters. It is extremely well written and very descriptive but I did think it was a smidge too long towards the end. An interesting plot once you get into it though.

This is one of the books where the setting almost becomes a character in its own right. Lex and Zoe have shared a secret for far too long, but things come to a head when they find themselves together in Eos all these years later, attending a funeral.

Many secrets we shared and kept that long ago island summer, but none as vital and dangerous as their shared knowledge of what *really* happened to Abigail...

While is this is based on a familiar trope, the author has done a good job of delivering an interesting and readable story. An enjoyable read, it gets 3.5 stars.

An enjoyable read of a well written story. The picturesque descriptions of the island were particularly well writen , evoking a desire to visit.

I often don't like stories that jump back and forth in time but this tale clearly needed to be told in that manner and it was well paced.

Some of the characters were a bit atypical and yes there have been a lot of books of this type but overall it was worth reading even if I found the ending a tad rushed and not unexpected.

Brilliantly paced drama and the descriptions of the island made me feel I was walking alongside everyone. A definite must read. Superb.

I kind of feel like this plot has been overdone. Kids share a secret about how someone really died, then come back years later and all is revealed. These girls spend a summer going through some scary things-grooming, drugs, jealousy etc, and it ends bad. When they return years later for a funeral, they talk about how guilty they have felt throughout the years. Secrets are revealed about where people were that night and what really happened. Overall, it was just ok to me. Little slow. I couldn't get into it that much.

A good all round well paced drama. Zoe and Lex's relationship is full of jealousy and secrets and all set in beautiful surroundings. This is definitely one to take on holiday. An enjoyable read.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Impeccable scene setting made the Greek Island of Eos as much a part of this novel as the well written characters. Be warned though, its not all sunshine and bougainvillea, tavernas and tzatziki, at the heart of this novel is a very readable tale of guilt, remorse, suspense, and lies... so many lies.

Zoe, Lex and Pabs, that summer they were friends, close in age but miles apart as individuals. This novel portrayed perfectly teenage girls at their most vulnerable, most secretive and most dangerous. They spent one summer together on Eos, step-sisters Zoe and Lex didn't return again until the death of their father twenty five years later gave them no choice.

Told in the then and now this novel seamlessly moved back and forth and slowly the secrets of a long gone summer revealed themselves. Perfectly paced with great characters, take this one on holiday with you - its the perfect summer read.
