Comments

A story of two friends, hiding two very big secrets from each other.  While India is helping Hannah, Hannah is unknowingly helping India, in turn, face her demons too.

A great, easy, holiday break read.  Another believable plot with well written characters that pull you in from the start.  As a group, we all related to Hannah’s story.  We found it a very realistic, honest, thought-provoking storyline that we could all relate to on some level. Another writer that, for us, writes everyday, suburban Australia extremely well, without cliches and kitsch.
