Synopsis
Will I Like It?
"Firstly, it's about the struggle of a young woman to find her own identity after she loses her parents in a horrific motor accident. It's also a story of two sisters who were treated very differently by their parents, one labelled as beautiful and as clever, and the impact those labels had on them. It's a story about that very confusing word called love and the particular situation that happens when we cross the line between friendship and something more, and all of the messy repercussions that follow.
It's about the impulsive choices and decisions we make and how the impact of those decisions resonate through time. It's about the secrets between a group of family and friends, and the lengths they will go to to keep them hidden. It's the story of what one man will go to undo the damage he's done. And it's about forgiveness, because it's amazing what friendship iscapable to surviving. But of course, there's no one character who knows the whole of the truth at the beginning. And our starting point is this very volatile situation in the aftermath of the accident when the characters are at their most vulnerable. Anything could give." Jane Davis, in conversation with Jen Campbell.

Review
A beautifully written story of secrets, lies, grief and, ultimately, redemption, charmingly handled by this very promising new writer. (Joanne Harris )
Jane Davis's beautifully written debut is a worthy winner of the Daily Mail/Transworld First Novel Award. There is nothing of the novice about her technique, which shows all the confidence of a natural-born writer. (John Harding, Daily Mail)
This is a thought-provoking and beautifully crafted novel that will keep you entralled until the very last page. (The People's Friend)
