rather emotional, have the tissues handy!
Tess has woken up in hospital with no recollection of how she got there, nobody is telling her anything thats happened and all she wants is to see her boyfriend and her best friend, what is the big secret why is nobody telling her anything whats gone on! shes got to sift through her memories to find out the secrets everybodys been hiding from her.

oh my gosh so many emotions through this book, so much guessing and yes i did cry! it was brilliantly written and kept you gripped from the first paragraph. Its great how when she gets her memory back its not everything is hunky dory right as rain she has the support needed to get her through the difficulties she facing. When she did get her memories back my heart sank for her i was devastated.

This is a fantastically written story with the emotional core of a rollercoaster keep some tissues handy.
a deffinate reccomendation 4/5

Insomnia wasn’t at all what I expected - and that’s a good thing!
Emma is terrified that she will end up like her mother on her 40th birthday: which is only 12 days away. At the same age, her mother became paranoid and tried to kill Emma’s sister. She ends up in a psychiatric hospital for the rest of her life - but not before predicting that Emma will end up the same way.

Emma isn’t sleeping. Is the insomnia an understandable result of the worry and trauma caused by her mother, or is she really going to end up with the same mental illness?

Ooh, this was a twisty-turny one! When Emma starts ‘losing’ parts of her day, even I thought she was heading down the same path as her mother. Trying to keep her disturbed past and her successful present completely separate seems an impossible task, and really piles the tension on.

This was a very tense read, and I was completely hooked - this is one of those books that you won’t want to put down.
