That's the best word I can think of to describe this book. I simply could not stop reading it. I had read her first outing, Something You Should Know which was also fantastic so I was very much looking forward to this one. It certainly does not disappoint. There are a number of characters featured here, and each of their stories are as compelling as the next, but Nicola's story in particular stands out as particularly well-written and resonant. Also there is the most unbelieveable twist, which seems to be a factor in this author's writings, and it is only when everything is out in the open that you realise how well it has been done. The book was so good that I really did not want it to end and Melissa Hill is now without doubt one of my must-read authors, along with Cathy Kelly, Patricia Scanlan et al. Well done.
