Hannah Richards is a successful British film director. She is
madly in love with her partner, script writer, Naomi Roberts and her life
couldn’t be better. Then without warning, tragedy struck when Naomi suddenly
died, leaving a gaping hole in Hannah’s life. Devastated, Hannah departs for
Cumbria, anything to get away from their house and it’s memories. Hannah stays
away for a year before she can even contemplate returning. Even when her
decision to return to London is made, she still can’t really face
it.
Famous actress, Alisa Forbes, Hannah and Naomi’s one time best
friend is the one to help Hannah get her life back on track.
Leah, Hannah’s personal assistant has an agenda of her own,
and having Hannah and Alisa take up as best friends again isn’t on it.
The more of Jade Winters books I read, the more I want to
read. They are simply addictive. This book is a well written, page turner. I was
totally hooked from the very first page, right through to the last page. There
are so many twists and turns and ups and downs, it was like being on a
rollercoaster.
The two main characters, Hannah and Alisa used to be best
friends along with Hannah’s deceased partner, Naomi. Something happened to
change all that before Naomi died. So, how did Alisa end up being the person to
help Hannah get her life back again?
There is a wonderful cast of secondary characters. The most
interesting one being Leah. She is the one I wanted to slap and yell at the
most. But, what part did she play in the unfolding saga of Hannah, Naomi and
Alisa?
Hannah’s mother Maggie, plays a good part in her support of
Hannah. But again, I felt like she needed a bit of a slap. As did Hannah on a
few occasions.
This is not to say these characters are anything less than
great. It shows that Jade’s writing is top notch. These characters are all well
developed and interact so well together. They are a delight to get to know.
This story is definitely one of Jade’s best. Somehow though, I
get the feeling I’m going to be saying that about each new book of Jade’s I
read. I will definitely read this book again. It’s nice to know the ending
sometimes without any pressure.
