My Review:
Rating: 4/5 stars.
Firstly, I would like to thank Netgalley for giving me a copy of this book for an honest review! I cannot say how happy I am that I finally picked this book up. I didn't really know what to expect from this book. The title of the book put me off for a good few months because of my own grief. Finally I have read it and I really loved it. Julia was a great main character and she was going through such a hard time. I really felt for her and wanted to see her have a happy ending. I have noticed as I've got older that I am enjoying more and more adult fiction (I'm so mature) which I never actually saw happening. This book is full of family secret with Linda appearing in Julia's life at a rather unexpected time. I enjoyed seeing all the dynamics of the family and was so happy when Julia accepted Pete into her life! Such a sweet guy. I loved that this book had many twists and turns to it and had me thinking constantly. I hated that I had to live my everyday life when all I wanted to do was finish this book! Now that I have I am so satisfied with it! I'm surprised I haven't heard more about this book and really recommend it for everyone to read! Amy x
