Really loved this story and the different mini stories it offered within that then intertwined later down the line.

An eighteen-year-old girl is tragically maimed while riding her bike when a van ploughs into her. She nearly dies and is left severely disabled. Twenty years later a famous pop singer is identified as responsible and prosecuted.
There are also two sub-plots involving a witness support officer and a judge. The author does a good job at creating several mysteries involving these characters and describing them. The prison scenes are particularly effective.
Although the plot is well worked out it did feel rather contrived, unbelievable at times and too sentimental for my taste. A few of the minor characters seemed to be stereotypes.
Despite this, the novel did keep me reading to find out what happened at the end.

This was such an absorbing and gripping read. I was hooked from page one so many twists and turns and the individual characters came to life and were connected throughout! Full of emotion and can honestly say the best book I’ve read for quite a while highly recommend

An exciting, accomplished novel that’s fast paced and would be excellent to read in one sitting if possible. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! Janie is knocked off her bicycle and badly injured- her narrative as she is lying in the road is really convincing and pulls at the heart strings.

Wow wow wow what a fantastic book I was hooked from the first few pages.
The story was just so gripping and I really did not know what was going to happen which is a sign of a well written book. It was full of twists and turns and I just didn’t know what was going to happen next.
I really felt for some of the characters and how decisions they had made had impacted their lives. I also loved the way some of the characters were linked. They were all so complex and intriguing.
A fantastic 5 stars
Thanks to Netgalley, Jane Corry and Penguin Random House for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review,

I love Jane Corey’s books and this one was no exception.

Three main characters tell the story, with their lives all seemingly affected by one accident that changed a number of lives.

Janie White suffers horrendous, life changing injuries that take years of intensive recovery to allow her to tell her story.

Pop star Robbie Manning is hiding a secret from his family, friends and fans that is about to come out.

Vanessa, working as a court support volunteer, is shocked to her core when she receives a letter from the past.

Even when I thought I had guessed where the story was going, another twist shocked me. A great read.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

Janie White loves her early morning sea swim. With a new adventure on the horizon, she is making the best of the last few chances she will have of indulging in her passion. Soon Janie will be off to London, where she has a new job waiting in publishing, and hopefully that will lead to her writing a book of her own. After leaving the sea and getting on her bike to return home, there is a hit and run accident which results in life threatening injuries for Janie. Despite months and then years of investigation, the perpetrators of such an heinous crime remain unknown.

Fast forward to twenty years after the accident, when music mega star Robbie Manning is not surprised to have the police arrive at his mansion to arrest him for the accident, only that it took them so long to get there. At last, someone is going to be brought to justice.

A flying start to this book had me fully hooked. I liked that the chapters were from the POV of each of the main characters, and the way in which the plot unfurled. Apart from Janie not many of the characters were likeable, even nice girl Vanessa came across as a bit of a drip at times, and a sucker at others!

Unfortunately the story sort of plateaued halfway through and never quite managed to regain its initial momentum. The ending was very abrupt, thought I’d missed a few pages!

Overall a good plot and a decent read, but would have liked a better ending.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin General Uk.

Wow what a fantastic read. This story was brilliant so many twists and I couldn't put it down read in two sittings and it was the best book I have read for a long time. Its begins with a young girl riding her bike and being in a dreadful accident and being left for dead but will anyone ever be bought to justice Its full of drama,corruption and secrets and just when you think everything is out in the open another secret comes to light. I can't recommend this book enough I've read and enjoyed all Jane Corry's books but this one is on another level.

Robbie, famous musician, is arrested for a hit and run two decades earlier that left a woman for dead. Beautiful Janey with a future so bright ahead of her never recovered after sustaining lufe changing injuries and the only way she can tell her story is through song or written word. Is Robbie guilty?

Wow! This book was incredible. Fascinatingly told from a number of perspectives with a complex array of intriguing characters. It gripped me from start to finish as what connected each of the characters to the trial was revealed. A five star read for me. Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for the advance copy of this book.

I was blown away by this book. It had everything. An intricate creative plot supported by some amazing characterisations. Powerful relationships continually impacted and challenged the need for honest admissions and painful truths.

I found myself turning pages effortlessly to learn more about the tragic circumstances described so well in the book. This book also gives great insight to the issues of ignoring and coping with strong feelings of guilt about the past. Sadness can be overwhelming but I guess I did know that.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I am happy to recommend it to others. #IDiedonaTuesday #NetGalley

Another suspenseful read from Jane Corry. A story with two threads and lots of secrets.

Janie has been in a coma for years following a near-fatal accident. Then she starts to come round and remember things about the accident. This could have consequences for rock star Robbie.

Vanessa is grieving for her husband but finds out he kept a terrible secret from her that could have changed her life.

What makes this such a good read is how the characters gradually change and grow and don’t let their problems define them. A book you want to read in one go.

This book is an amazing page turner! In the beginner I was intrigued as to how these seemingly unrelated characters could be connected. I enjoyed watching the story unravel.

Then the story really picked up the pace from the middle onwards with twist after twist, after twist! Then just when you think it'll all over there's more to come! I just couldn't stop reading it!

One of the best books I've read this year, definitely add it to your must read pile.

I loved this book - it's a masterclass in how to take seemingly unrelated threads of a story and weave them together in a way that keeps the reader guessing. The only part which fell a bit flat for me was the financial blackmail - I wasn't convinced Vanessa would have fallen for that so easily - but the rest was absolutely fantastic.

I absolutely loved this book. A really good read. There were a variety of very interesting and unpredictable characters whose lives, on the surface were so diverse as to not be connected, but left tantalising breadcrumb trails to follow. The further you read, the more breadcrumb trails you followed to an very unexpected conclusion. I must admit to burning the midnight oil as I just had to read the next section, and then the next, and the next as I could not put it down.

Such a well written story. Three main characters but plenty of others interwoven and for a while its hard to see how they all connect. I love a story that keeps me thinking and this certainly did. Tragedy, twists galore and not the ending i expected. Simply put a fabulous and very worthwhile read. My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

I really enjoyed this book. Told from the viewpoint of several different characters with plenty of twists and turns. It was hard to see at the beginning how all the separate story lines would connect and converge. Strong characters and a very different storyline meant I read the book in a day. Will certainly look forward to reading more books by this author.

I enjoyed this, as I have done with all Jane Corry's books.

The intertwining of the character's lives into an overarching plot worked well.

I also liked the moral implications for each character and how their choices relate to the accident. This reminded me of some of Jodi Picoult's books where questions are raised about what's wrong and right while considering the grey areas in between.

Jane Corry has another obvious hit on her hands.

The only thing I don't like is the title. It seems too long and clunky, and not the most obvious reference to have chosen from the novel. Just my opinion, though.

I usually enjoy reading jane corry but honestly i felt there was so much going on in this book that i found it hard to follow .I stuck with it and finiashed it but this one left me a little bit disappointed .
