This is the kind of book you have to force yourself to put down. I had so many ever changing theories whilst reading this and none of them ended up being right. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Plotline: On her way to her son's football match, Beth has pulled up outside of the house of her friend, Flora, who she's been estranged from for 12 years. Unexpectedly, Flora pulls up and gets out of her car with her two children - only, her children don't seem to have aged since Beth saw them 12 years ago.

Throughly enjoyed this tense thriller! The plotline was quite complicated, but one that was explained well overall. The complicit actions of the periphery characters could've been explained more clearly, but the core storyline was interesting to follow!

As this book went on I kept concocting my own increasingly wild theories about what might be happening but in the end none of them actually came close to the real answers.
