Well written, the author did a fantastic job of carrying you through all the emotions of the characters and didn’t let them do the ‘right thing’. Nothing in real life is straight forward and we often go down a path that we regret later.’ ‘Fantastic book! I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.’ ‘Made me laugh out loud – reminded me of my own family in many ways.’ ISBN: 9780955563096 Price: £9.99 Ebook: £5.99 Editor@hooklinebooks.com Bookline & Thinker Ltd #231, 405 King's Road, London SW10 0BB Tel: 0845 116 1476 |
