We know that Emily and her daughter Sofia have been living quietly in Sidmouth for the past 12 years. We also know that Emily was escaping her ex, and something that she did. But that quiet life is about to blow up when Emily finds her daughter chatting with a stranger online. Then her friend Nancy is hospitalized and has only Emily to turn to. To top it off, Emily was just starting to feel something for Oliver, a handsome and wealthy retiree, who she now puts on the back burner to care for her friend and be there for her daughter.
Just when things start looking up again, Watson throws in another bombshell! Bam!
This one was a bit of a slow burn, but you can’t lose with a book by Sue Watson. Her prose is wonderful, and you can almost feel her winking conspiratorially with you!
