Eve has many plates to spin.
Thoroughly enjoyed this drama.
The characters were well written and so believable. I really felt for for Eve and wondered how i would cope.
Also some very funny moments.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Eve is at the end of her tether. what with her mother whos health is declining, her son who si accused of bullying and her ex partner she really has had enough.. Then she disovers a secret while cleaning out the house and this all but sends her over..

This is a twisty drama filled read and I really liked Eve.. then there is a murder.......

What a delight this was to read.. I was intrigued and very page delivered. it is fabulously written and is a book I will read again..

recommended read..

Sarah Edghill does a fantastic job in writing this book, it had that tense atmosphere that I was looking for and enjoyed from the genre. The characters had that feel that worked with the story being told and thought it was really well done. I was hooked from first page until the end and glad I got to read this.

How much can one woman take? Being a good mother and a good daughter is pushing Eve to her limits. When she discovers a devastating family secret, something has got to give…. Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, murder, mystery, and a few twists and turns. The story was interesting, it wasn’t one of my all time favorites but still worth reading! I would recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I devoured this in two sessions and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sarah Edghill is superb at capturing the challenges and small triumphs of midlife. Her characters are always realistic, authentic and relatable.
Eve, at 45, is finding that everyone wants a chunk of her time. Her mother has moved into a care home and hates it, constantly ringing Eve and saying she’ll kill herself if she has to stay there. In the early stages of dementia, she exhibits bewildering changes in temperament.
Her normally well behaved six year old has been accused of bullying at school. And her ex has accused Eve of being a bad mother, saying he and his new wife want Daniel to live with them, hundreds of miles away in Glasgow.
Eve has also discovered her mother has a secret which shakes her to the core.
There’s a lot of humour despite all this. How realistic is the scenario of the unattached next door neighbour bringing round his strimmer and lawnmower, and then getting grumpy when Eve’s long grass is just, er, too long? Fortunately Jake later recovers from this, and Eve’s mistake in declining a comedy night. I also loved the episode where Eve's mother and her new friend Barbara absconded from the care home in search of a decent cup of tea.
A delight.
