                                                My Thoughts

This riveting thriller is narrated from the alternating perspectives of Mia and Josie with Mia`s chapters being set in the present and Josie`s in the past.The characters are all complex,well developed,mostly untrustworthy and nothing is ever what it seems.What really happened that fateful night was totally unexpected,I honestly didn't see that twist coming but my shock at that twist was nothing compared to how I felt when I got to the final chapter,I was so shocked I nearly dropped my kindle.Throughout the whole book Kathryn Croft had been leading me down a certain path and then suddenly I learnt that what I thought I knew was absolutely wrong.

I loved this well written,riveting,twist packed tale of secrets,lies,mental illness,obsessions and misinterpretation.I love Kathryn Croft`s books and wouldn't hesitate in recommending this to anyone who enjoys a gripping thriller.
