I really enjoyed this one. There were a few things that annoyed me, but overall it was a really interesting story to follow.

I definitely called the reveals (I mean, I've got those updates on here to prove it, I guess) but I still enjoyed seeing how the characters figured it out in the end.

I find it so sad that after that summer, Leo Pippa and Jeremy never saw each other again. Their vibe as a group was the best and I loved seeing their summer adventures.

Seriously hate Rebecca, and Leo's parents, though.

This book was a fabulous read.
Unputdownable, with twists & turns right up to the end. Very relatable and likeable characters.
So many feelings of joy, scandals, loss, sadness - definitely one to binge on

Entertaining but very easy to figure out the twist before you are even half way through the book.

4.5⭐️ The past and the present were interwoven perfectly in this novel. I loved the Tasmanian setting and each twist was revealed at exactly the right moment. Loved it!

A page turning thoroughly enjoyable Australian crime/drama. Didn’t strain my brain, but until halfway through, kept me guessing. I’ll look forward to reading more from the author.
