Book Rating

Thank you to Penguin UK as part of an Instagram promotion of this book.
Kate Rafter is a journalist who works in some of worst places in the world, seeing some of the world's worst atrocities. She returns home on the death of her mother. Her sister Sally has never left Herne Bay and is an alcoholic, who hates Kate. The book is split between the main events of the story and scenes in a police station where Kate is being assessed on her mental health. We know that Kate keeps hearing and seeing a young boy in the family garden - but her experiences in Syria which have left her traumatised means that no one believes her.
Marketed as a rival to The Girl on the Train (I wish they wouldn't do that), I enjoyed this book and would ideally have given it 3.5 stars.
Negatives first...I didn't think it was that well written, there were plot holes that annoyed me and I found the characters one dimensional.
BUT the story was fast moving and intriguing and then there is a major twist which I didn't see coming which made me gasp.

Plant Nanny.

Plant Nanny is highly recommended ✔

Plant Nanny is an innovative app that contributes towards incentivising water consumption, sequentially promoting good health. As inferred by Healthline, sufficient water consumption can contribute towards enhancing energy levels and brain function, or preventing and treating headaches, indicative of the prospective health benefits associated with sufficient water consumption.

To elaborate on my prior inference, Plant Nanny is also an exceptional app attributable to its user interface, which is user-friendly to a considerable extent. This contributes further towards incentivising the continuous use of this app.

However, to deliberate the negative aspects of Plant Nanny, which are minimal, it takes an approximate 5 days to level up your plant, which grows at each level, until level 5, from which the plant is then placed in a garden and a new plant can be selected and henceforth.

To conclude, Plant Nanny, an innovative app, is highly recommended to a considerable extent attributable to its ability to incentivise water consumption which is often overlooked, sequentially contributing towards promoting good health.
