One Split Second
By Caroline Bond
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One split second ... the moment that changed their lives forever.
When a car carrying five friends home from a party crashes into a wall, the consequences are devastating - not just for the young people directly involved, but also for their families and the wider community.
No one escapes unscathed, but some are more deeply scarred than others. Those affected are left to question who was to blame for the accident, and what price they will pay.
This moving story of an accident and its aftermath explores our understanding of love and loyalty, grief and forgiveness.
Wow! This is so emotionally charged the impact that one event can have on so many lives is incredible. This is a heartbreaking story of how 5 teenagers, a party , an argument and car accident completely shakes the lives of them and their families. I have to admit I shed a tear at the end. As humans we are so strong and it take’s something drastic for us to see how strong!!

This is another great mystery that jumps right in and keeps us guessing until the end. I did find a couple of things that could have been a little clearer, but nothing that truly impacted the plot. What I really loved is the character growth we got for Tex and another series regular. But Madison really shines in her moment; it was my favorite part of the book. There are some funny moments as well, and fans of Doris Day’s movie will find some fun nods. If you’ve been enjoying this series, you’ll be glad you picked up the latest in the series.

I found this rather gripping and was disappointed when I had to stop listening when work and family life got in the way!
The story is intense and fast moving; the plot is engrossing with a number of twists and turns that had me taking a few sharp intakes of breath at times.
The three main characters of Anna, Margot and Rachel are all told by different narrators - this was genius and helped to differentiate between their 'parts' in the story. The narrators did an excellent job and helped keep the tension going from start to finish.
I haven't read or listened to anything by Jack Jordan before but I will certainly be keeping my eyes open in the future and I must thank Simon & Schuster UK Audio and NetGalley for allowing me to listen to Do No Harm and share my thoughts.

This is an intriguing story that has some facts about the land and the Polish settlers and how everybody just simply got on with the ways of life.
Ginny's discomfort is completely understandable she isn't used to any of the situations she's been plunged into but she adapts well.
Some of the book is heart-breaking and you feel those emotions whirling through you.
When I first started reading this book I was rather apprehensive as to whether I would enjoy it or not, I'm glad I pursued and finished it otherwise I would have missed out on a beautiful tale.
A recommended read
