i was truly immersed in this novel and at so many points sat wondering what was going to happen now and could someone give our character a break. i wasn't ever really sure who's side i was on and should be on until Beverley weaved it all through for me. and i liked just sitting there being taken at her pace. usually i try to predict and form so many options of whats to come but this time it felt like i was in great hands to just sit and enjoy.
i felt so bad for Tessa when coming to the end of work like there is suddenly another spark. another bout of energy for her when she is facing retirement. a new purpose if you will which can be so hard for people when they retire. and then the upmarket life full of money and socialising. that must feel very enticing.
but when that comes crashing down. and worse things start heading Tessa's way she is facing betrayal on every front and her future even become at risk.
this is a book full of intrigue and i could totally get involved as i was on board for Tessa all the way through.
i never new where this would end so i was compelled more and more to turn more and more pages.
