    9/10

    This is the second I read this. First time was just after it was released and I really enjoyed it. 

    And even though I knew what happened in the book I still really enjoyed my second read. The characters are well developed and the intertwining story between Theo and Alicia made for an interesting journey. I still couldn’t put the book down even though I had read it before 

    unfortunately I’m not feeling well tonight so I won’t be attending the book club.

    I loved this book! 9/10 swim!

    I couldn't put this down, it was so easy to keep reading and I loved all the twist and turns. I enjoyed the different sections of Alicia's diary and Theo's 1st person account because it led you in different directions. I felt like a detective trying to figure out who was telling the truth!

    I am recommending this to anyone and everyone!

    A review from someone who was unable to attend our meeting last evening: Im caught up at work but will try and log on when I eventually escape. Just incase, please find my review below! I really like XigXag as an audible medium. You do need to download the book otherwise it doesn't hold your place (took me 3 attempts of listening to sort that!). You can change the settings easily to fix it! I like that it goes back a few seconds if you pause so you can get your head back into the point you stopped it. My only complaint is the amount of bloody notifications the app sends out- but again, I just need to change the settings! All in all, I can't see any difference to audible :) Im 60% through the book and really enjoy it. I cant be sure but I recon she did do it but has forward planned everything to eventually get away with it. Its the diary that makes me think this! Seems too much "evidence" of husband moaning etc. I am keen to finish (hopefully on run home!). If I dont log on in time, have a fab bookclub. Im pre empting me finishing it- but I am going for a 7 and swim :)
