I can honestly say I've never read another book like this one - it's the perfect mixture of warm and friendly on the surface while evil lurks below . . . Three families, all from very different walks of like get to know each other through their children and friendships are struck; as they begin to spend more and more time together they focus more on each other and less on the children. Recipe for disaster? What do you think? I warmed to this novel very quickly; I can only imagine that a lot of work went into making this such an easy read. The characters are all very different and each family has their own particular style of parenting. There is plenty happening and the story builds piece by piece, with suspense mounting throughout. A gripping read, well written and it certainly kept my attention all the way from beginning to end. Some of the revelations shocked me, others I had an inkling about. Even so, this is well worth four stars and a good recommendation.

it was well written but I couldn't wait to finish it because it was so depressing! Such a dark read, so many unlikeable characters. Also trigger warning, lots of abuse.
