It’s takes one minute to change everything…
Vivienne Shager has it all. A highflying job. A beautiful apartment. Friends whose lives are as perfect as her own. But on the afternoon of her 27th birthday, Vivi has a heart attack.
Now Vivi’s life shrinks back to how it begun, as she moves back to the small seaside town she grew up in. With her time running out, there is one thing she wants to know the truth about.
Some secrets are best left in the past…
Thirty years earlier, Shelley’s family home, Deerwood farm, bursts full of love and happiness. But one family member has hidden a secret for all these years. Until Vivi comes home demanding answers, and it takes just a moment to unravel the lie at their heart of their lives…
My thoughts
My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10.
Susan Lewis isn't an Author that I've read a lot of in the past. I enjoyed this very thought provoking at times story about Vivi and how she copes with the aftermath of her heart attack. I feel that it would make a great reading group read, with quite a few things that could be discussed by people and discussing how they might cope if it happened to them in the prime of their life.
Told as a dual time frame style story, the narrative flits between the past and the present, as secrets from the past are revealed that kept me guessing where they where leading on several occasions.
I will be looking to read more books by Susan Lewis in the future.
