Review:
5 out of 5 stars
This is the second book that I have read written by Clare
Ashton and I was not disappointed.
This story which is really two possible three stories that
are interrelated, are an amazing example of how people’s lives intersect and
the far reaching ripple effect actions and decisions can have. The main characters are Clo, Laura and Susan. I found Laura and Susan’s stories interesting
primarily in how it related to Clo.
Ultimately, for me the most interesting storyline was Clo’s it was both compelling
and often gut wrenching.
At one point there was a sentence that described Clo’s state
of mine after a particularly difficult scene: “She was revolted by her own body
and hunched her shoulders around her head, and wished she could shake it off
and shed the repellent skin.”
There were so many moments in this story where I was able to
relate to Clo’s state of mind that I felt compelled to finish the story while
hoping throughout that there would be a happy ending for her. This was a very good read.
