Great start midway through it slowed a little but you wouldn’t expect what happened towards the end- a great surprise

Boring, tedious and so many holes
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2017Verified Purchase
I have read Adele Parks novels since my 20's so thought it was a safe bet this book would be good....how wrong. This book is so boring with lots of flaws but all tied up into a happyish ending. I'm not sure if the author had a dare with one of her mates that she could slip the words "an entire menagerie" into one of her books but the use of this sentence was the laugh out loud moment for me and the confirmation that I will never read another novel by Ms Parks again. I also agree with another reviewer in that it seems to have been written with a film deal in mind.
Onto the book...we follow Alison, Jeff and their daughter Katherine in their too perfect life. One day some man turns up and tells them they have been raising his daughter due to a baby swap 15 years earlier. Alison seems resigned to this and then allows this stranger to dictate her life. Throw in a mutated gene, a 'dead' wife and the strange man's other kids, not to mention Alison's back story which doesn't lead anywhere and that's pretty much it. As for the 'twist'...well I guessed it early on but was hoping to be proved wrong as it is infact glaringly obvious...clue:the strange man is surprisingly not what he seems. The characters are unlikeable and forgettable and the ending is horrendous...the story is slow to develop..70% on the Kindle before anything actually happens..I skimmed loads in the hope the story would improve..it didn't. Don't waste your time or money on this book and perhaps Adele should stick to chick lit.

Total Rubbish Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2018Verified Purchase
This has to be the worst book I've ever read in my entire life. The so called plot was absolutely ridiculous. It just didn't make sense and the contradictions came one after the other. Unfortunately I had to read it to the end because I thought there must be some sense to this book somewhere, surely, but there was none. And the constant going back 20 odd years made little sense. I just struggled and struggled with it. I just wonder how the author made up such rubbish. Because of all the nonsense I had to keep going back thinking it was me getting it wrong, but it wasn't. I actually binned it because I couldn't possibly give it to the doctors surgery for someone else to wonder what the heck it was all about.

Save your money.

What a load of tosh.
I got to 30% on the Kindle and decided life is too short.
The characters are deeply unpleasant, and when one of them is the first person narrator, who spends chapters and chapters naval gazing and whining, you know it's going to be hard to finish. It almost reads like a turgid Mumsnet Mummy blog at times.
I don't care what happened to the characters, and I'll never read anything by this author again.

Turgid, improbable tosh
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2020Verified Purchase
Turgid tosh with a dreadful principal character. Alison spends much of the book whining about how the fates will intervene to snatch any good fortune from her life. Deeply implausible plot and predictable if daft behaviour from Alison including following the instruction to "come alone and tell no-one", idiot. Of course, in the ending, she manages to overcome the, very strong, baddy in a fist fight.
I confess to having skim read much of this to get to the end and that was a trial. Save your money.

An excellent read overall
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2018Verified Purchase
This is the first of Parks' novels I have read and thoroughly enjoyed it. Most aspects of the plot and characterisation were plausible and convincing and the pace was good. My only criticism was the narrator's lack of interest in her biological daughter; it was not until the later stages of the novel that Alison showed any sense of concern about Olivia. For me, it is difficult to believe that the narrator would not be more troubled by the fact that her biological daughter is being raised within another family. However, other than this, I really enjoyed this novel and will now read others by Parks.
