Tessa Markham is a mess. She lost her son during birth and it ruined her marriage to her husband, Scott. How can she cope with all her loss? One rainy night she returns home to find a little boy sitting at her kitchen counter all alone. How did he get there?

After calling the police, things quickly take a turn on Tessa and she must fight to find out why the boy appeared in her house and what his connection is to her.


This story had me gripped from the first sentence. Shalini Boland did it again with this story!

I lasted four episodes of this soapy, teenage melodrama that merely utilize the name of Archie Comics characters. I've been reading Archie Comics since I was a kid (and still do), and this is seriously just teenage porn. As soon as 'Ms Grundy' was sleeping with Archie, I was out. I'm particularly insulted that they essentially ruined Betty, my favorite character. From what I gathered, they've hooked her up with Jughead? JUGHEAD?
I get it, I'm not the intended audience, but I feel like there needs to be a disclaimer that they just used character names and places. So much wasted potential.

Track

"A really good punk song. They had a really great ear for punk. They actually fused punk with metal, but it wasn't 70s Punk, it was kinda new wave punk. That's what I get from it, anyway: The Exploited, and Anti-Pasti. They probably weren't listening to it, but that's what I get. And there's obviously a bit of glam in there from the New York Dolls. "The songs are slightly ruined by the fucking production. It's a bit too much, and sometimes Axl's voice borders on the insane - it's like, 'what the fuck is that?' - but that's rock, isn't it?"

I dunno about this one

I liked some aspects of it and others not so much. Andies need to plan everything almost ruined her relationship and I do believe that Clarke forgave her a little too easily.

The friend bust up towards the end was guaranteed. Lying about something like that was such a bad idea but I do believe that they could all be really close again.

This is my third book by the author and I don't know if I have a favourite but I do look forward to reading more of the authors work.
