If you enjoy very emotional dramas with a twist, then this is the book for you, for me, it was all just a bit too bleak. 

It's easy to feel sympathy with heartbroken Claire, as she tries to comes to terms with her daughter's death. Her subsequent investigations into why her daughter died are the main part of the plot and this just didn't keep my attention, mainly because there was no reprieve from the sadness. Right from the start when Claire's daughter is found, to the end when the villain is confronted, it was just a very sad tale and I had to put the book down a fair few times to give myself a break. I did appreciate the author's writing, but the story was a bit too melancholy for my personal taste.

An amazingly heartbreaking story that could not be more timely. Written exceptionally well and with heart.

This book was quite interesting. It starts out with our main character Claire realizing that her daughter is dead.
With such a terrible thing thrown at her she sets off trying to figure out why her daughter, Julia, would take her own life when to Claire's knowledge she was a happy healthy young woman with the whole world at her feet. Then when Claire finds a box of letters under Julia's bed she is suddenly thrown into a world that she never knew her daughter experienced. The best part was every time I was convinced I knew who wrote the letters I got another piece of information that changed my thoughts completely. It really kept me on my toes trying to figure out who X was. I really liked how the author wrote the characters  all of them were very interesting with their own flaws and successes. They were very realistic and easily relatable. However the plot was the best part of this book it was so thrilling and exciting something that held my attention till the very last page and beyond. Very good book I would strongly recommend this one. Its very hard to say much more without giving anything away but this is one that I think everyone should read. The ending was such a shock that I never saw coming. Just another twist right when my guard was down. Great job. This book needs to be enjoyed by everyone and read at least two times to really see what was unfolding.

Nicole is a new author to me and I really enjoyed reading this book, it is a good paced story with well developed characters and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, and I didn't guess who was behind the letters.  

I can recommend this book and thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity.

I strongly disliked this book. It left me feeling all disgusted and dirty, which is not something I want from a book.

It started out okay. I didn't love the characters, but they were okay.

About 30% of the way into the book I had figured out what happened the night that Julia died. I figured out who 'x' was and couldn't bear reading Claire suspecting the wrong person(s), so I skipped to 70% and read through the end.

I absolutely hate who 'x' turned out to be. I really just feel like Julia wouldn't have done that. From everything else we learned about her throughout the story she seemed like a very nice young woman. I just can't imagine what she did. That makes me feel like maybe there was some conditioning or something going on.

I have more thoughts about the ending, but I can't go into any detail because of spoilers.
