Ever since
the birth of their daughters four years ago, two couples, Josh and Hannah, and
Dan and Sasha have been best friends. They spend so much time in each other’s
company that the two young girls have grown up more like sisters than friends.
Then one day Dan drops a bombshell, he is leaving Sasha.
Josh and
Hannah agree to be neutral, and support both couples during this difficult
time, but things soon take a downwards curve, when the emotionally unstable
Sasha refuses to accept the situation. Bad things start to happen, Dan and
Sasha blame each other, Josh and Hannah are torn between the two. When bad
things start to happen to them, just who should Josh and Hannah believe.
This is a
fantastic book. Cohen takes you on a ride that you don’t want to get off.
The
situation is all too real, one couple caught in the middle of the breakup of
their best friends marriage. The ‘perfect’ couple splitting up, whilst the
relationship of the less than perfect couple is sound, or is it?
It was
chilling witnessing the sophisticated Sasha fall apart. My sympathies went from
one character to another at an alarming rate, until I wasn’t sure what, or who,
to believe.
There is
also the memoir of a young girl dotted throughout the story, that adds a mysterious
undercurrent to the already dark plot.
The pace was
fast. It was definitely a CPID, (couldn’t put it down), book. I was definitely
not expecting the ending, it was a complete shock.
This is a
fabulous psychological thriller that left me wanting to read more by the
talented Ms Cohen, I’m sure you will feel the same.
A definite
5* read. I thoroughly recommend it.
