Okay, did not expect that. Well done. The story itself was different, had a few forsk in the road to throw you off, and it worked.
Olivia fell… off a bridge and when her mother Abi finds out she was pregnant she decides to find the truth. It unraveled well and definitely caught me by surprise. It was sad though so for those dealing with heavy emotions on a negative level this may not be the read for you.
Overall it still made our blog list due to the number of book clubs that loved it!
Well… and the fact that I was caught by surprise. ;)
