What to expect

Real, compulsive and intense: Cat Clarke is the queen of emotional suspense. For fans of Lisa Williamson and Rainbow Rowell

Can love survive the ultimate betrayal? A compelling story of love and identity from a bestselling author.

When Alex meets Kate the attraction is instant.

Alex is funny, good-looking, and a little shy - everything that Kate wants in a boyfriend.

Alex can't help falling for Kate, who is pretty, charming and maybe just a little naive...

But one of them is hiding an unbelievable secret, and as their love blossoms, it threatens to ruin not just their relationship, but their lives...

(P) 2017 Hachette Children's Group

Critics Review

All in all a perfect YA novel which blew me away from the start, had me gripped until the end and left me in emotional tatters
Good Reads
A realistic, gritty novel of growing as a person, of loving a person of acceptance and one that will stick with you even after the last page!
Studio Reads
The best yet from the consistently great Cat Clarke, this is a stunning story of a relationship with a secret at the heart of it

Clarke excels at genuine page-turners with a heart of darkness and I read this in one greedy sitting.
