    One of the best books I have read.

  28. Jay on 27/02/2024 at 9:19 am

    One of the best books I’ve read this year. I literally could not put it down. I was sucked into the story from the very first page and left traumatized by the end. Captivating, engrossing and totally upsetting. I still can’t get over it; that’s how good the book is!

  29. Daniela Serrelli on 27/02/2024 at 6:55 pm

    Remarkable..and utterly gripping…kept me reading late into the night, night after night..

  30. Francesco Luciani on 27/02/2024 at 7:43 pm

  33. Joseph Contreras on 09/03/2024 at 7:08 pm

    Fabulous and entertaining.

  34. Celia on 12/03/2024 at 4:06 pm

    I was immersed from the beginning, felt such empathy for the characters and where they found themselves. It was a riveting book with some light hearted touches in between the difficult situations everyone faced. Totally believable.
    But the ending……..
    A must read.
