Story4 out of 5 stars 6
Beth and Cath are leaving their husbands. This is a story about two very different women. One is wealthy and having an affair with a man who gives her the kind of love that her cold, detached husband does not. One is living hand to mouth, suffering at the hands of a violent partner who would rather see her dead than leave him. You may think you know these women already and how their lives will unfold. Beth will live happily ever after with her little girl and her soulmate. Cath will go back to her abusive husband. And these two women will never cross paths. But you will be wrong.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 11
Every year on the same day, on the anniversary, I receive a single black rose. Thirteen years of dark petals, jagged thorns, dredging up memories I’ve tried to forget. I’ve packed up my life. All my belongings are carefully sealed, my suitcases ready for my big move. I’m just days away from a new life abroad with my boyfriend, Ben. No one knows the real reason I’m desperate to leave. My best friend, Lena, is throwing me a leaving party. A celebration, to say goodbye. Champagne to toast my farewell. Speeches, full of fond memories. No one knows what I’m running from.

The story was initially gripping, but then, it became repetitive, and it droned on and on. The excellent narration kept me interested but barely.

A while to get there...
Seemed like the first 80% of the book was one repetitive (SUPER repetitive) prose, and then finally toward the end there was some action. It was decent, but if you’re expecting a thriller, this is not it. Long, redundant story only to arrive at a mediocre closing of the story.

No twist that we didn't already know was coming
SO...The story was entertaining and as ALWAYS, I love Imogen's narration. However, there was no twist...the story told you early on what was happening and stayed with that plot. There was no surprise, and not because I figured it out, it was just always going in that direction. I was hoping at the end, it would throw me off and surprise me. Since the story had you in one direction the entire time, a twist would have been VERY unexpected - but alas, nothing happened,

Not really a pyschological thriller!
I find this book very disjointed and not a lot happens at all in it, apart from the 'big twist'. The characters are based only on one being a narcissist and the other being fat. If this was marked as a family drama, then fair enough.
The synopsis just sounds so thrilling, however that is nothing more than a brilliant publishing house sales pitch.
Naration is very good though with lots of effort to try and save this flat Turkey.
