Good Points: Gripping from start to finish, I could not put the book down, it came everywhere with me, every spare minute was spent reading, It all seemed so real I was actually crying while reading the end of the book.

General comments: This was my first Martina Cole book which i borrowed of my mother in law, didnt think i would enjoy it but boy was i wrong. I could not put it down it went everywhere with me even to the toilet. At the end of the book i was actually crying my heart out as I really i really knew the characters. Managed to read the book in 1 week, did not get any housework or ironing done so now its catch up time, but have just started another Martina Cole book (The Take) half way through already and its just as good as the first.
