A search for the truth. A lifetime of lies.

In the small hours of the morning, Abi Knight is startled awake by the phone call no mother ever wants to get: her teenage daughter Olivia has fallen off a bridge. Not only is Olivia brain dead, she’s pregnant and must remain on life support to keep her baby alive. And then Abi sees the angry bruises circling Olivia’s wrists.

When the police unexpectedly rule Olivia’s fall an accident, Abi decides to find out what really happened that night. Heartbroken and grieving, she unravels the threads of her daughter’s life. Was Olivia’s fall an accident? Or something far more sinister?

Review:

Not going to lie the first few chapters of the book sucked me in! As I kept reading the plot started to become predictable. Olivia wasn’t the quiet good girl everyone knew. Abi was also hiding secrets of her own.
At times it felt like I was reading a “Lifetime” movie.

The final showdown at the end left me dissatisfied to say the least. The whole reasoning had my eyes rolling. Overall it wasn’t a bad read and the story did hold my attention. It just didn’t work out in my favor.
