What a tense and atmospheric read this was! And what better setting than the remote Scottish Highlands. No electricity, no phone signal, no WiFi, no running water, a compost toilet...they call it ecotourism; I call it roughing it in dangerous territory. I've read too many thrillers to find THAT in any way relaxing. No way would you get me there without some form of civilisation nearby. What if there was an emergency? As these women soon found out...

You are the melody in my life, the rhythm in my heart, the beat that keeps me going. I need your presence in my life. If you reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016, you may be able to inherit some of your spouse or civil partner’s State Pension when they die.

I don’t know if this surprises you, but you’re the biggest reason I keep getting up when I face-plant (which is often), and why I keep trying to do better. This book is not only an epic psychological thriller filled with twists and turns that I would have never expected all the way to the end but it is also quite sad and heartbreaking at times and it definitely makes you question why certain people didn't get the help they needed sooner. It also ends in a very thought provoking way leaving the reader to think and talk about it long after they have finished reading the book which is definitely a sign of an amazing author and an addictive successful book!!! In this book Sheryl discusses very important subjects that include miscarriage, mental health and Gaslighting and manages to weave them all into an addictive, realistic and emotional storyline. A huge well down to you Sheryl you should be extremely proud of yourself!! I would love to see this book turned into what would promise to be a massive hit movie!! Finally, with a perplexing crime scene left in the less than capable hands of the local police, what is left of the group are free to head home, with a seemingly traumatised Sophie needing space and time alone to make preparations for her new life going forwards. However, she will only realise that goal after she has finally destroyed her nemesis, with the biggest secret of them all. This is one tough cookie, determined that the future is going to happen on her terms, and hers alone! As relayed by her husband, the adjectives that best describe her are very beautiful, cold, in love, and observant.

Oh boy Oh boy this is one mind blowing story that keeps you on your toes chapter after chapter, creepy very creepy that sets you into dark places with a powerful psychological thriller that I didn't see coming to make you shutter. Sophie heads off for a break with other members of her swimming group to a remote - very remote - house in the wilds of Scotland. But things take a very different, and possibly dangerous, turn when she realises that one of the four other women - but which? - is the person who's been having an affair with her husband... You can only get the extra State Pension once you’ve reached State Pension age. State Pension top up I’m not certain just how much I can say about this storyline to whet your appetite, without giving anything away, but here goes nothing!… He must be tested. He must follow her (unspoken) rules or there will be (extreme passive-aggressive) consequences.

I hate to say it, but you can’t really change a narcissistic husband. In fact, you really can’t change anyone. They have to want to change, and if they don’t, they won’t. on or after 6 April 2016, and they have one or more qualifying years of National Insurance contributions or credits from before 6 April 2016 (even if they do not qualify for the new State Pension) Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture, for sharing this curvy book with me. Your kindness is appreciated! This book is written in a mix of third and first person perspective and the protagonists are Naomi Felton, Joan, Sara, Ben Felton and Lily. The benefits of books written in first person perspective are, as long as they are well written, it makes you feel that you are being spoken to by the protagonist and it can create more of a bond between yourselves and them. If there are several protagonists you also get to see more of what is going on. The benefits of third person perspective with multiple protagonists are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything. To have the benefit of both first and third person perspective ensures you don't miss out on anything.

For Sophie, wild swimming is an escape. To make her forget. And together with five other regulars - Fern, Keira, Elise, Grace and Ariel - they meet weekly at a local lake to brave the cold waters. One day, the women are tossing about ideas of a wild swimming trip together somewhere and Fern discovers the perfect place in the Scottish Highlands in a remote cottage with no electricity, running water, WiFi or mobile phone signal, surrounded by lochs in which they can swim. The women jump on board the idea and the getaway is booked. But Fern pulls out at the last minute, leaving the other women to go on without her...and leaving Sophie as the only driver of the group. The dialogue read like it was written by a child - straight to the point with no subtext... people simply do not speak to each other the way they do in this book. 'Dramatic' scenes played out so fast that they were over in a paragraph, the characters were all over the place as though the writer didn't know them at all and couldn't make up her mind about their personalities/aims. I have never hated a writing style more!! Although she has everything the world tells her she should want (a successful husband, two friendly children, a nice house in the suburbs), this wife is not content, but paranoid, because her husband leaving would mean her own end: There is no personality she can hold on to, because she has replaced it by the accumulation of expectations what a wife is supposed to be. Even in her job as an English teacher, she somehow manages to make the assignments relate to her husband, and as a literary translator, she sees herself as a vessel that occupies other writers' voices, thus once more obliterating her own. And at the end of the day, this is not even about loving her husband, as the text points out again and again - and the husband seems to know that, because to love somebody, you have to be somebody.
