Well ok I admit it… I only bought this book because it won the Costa!
I was surprised to see it had won, so I thought well I had really best see what all the fuss is about…
Loved it from start to finish, it may be classified as a teen read but it will certainly appeal to many adults alike…
So not only do I recommend this book, I am now going to have to check out others by the same author….

One Response so far.

    I appreciated this book more after I’d finished it than when I was actually reading it. The main character; Faith spends a lot of time making questionable choices and she’s surrounded by seemingly weak women and opinionated, confident men. I felt myself saying, Why is everybody raving about this? I kept turning the pages because I was curious but it was the last few chapters what turned this book around for me. The ending uncovers the lies and reveals the people behind the facades of sex and class. It’s a book that makes you want to read it again to see where you got the impressions you did.
