My rating: 4.8
From the opening chapter, this book grabbed me. It flashes between 2007 and 2003 with Catherine Bailey as the central character. In 2003 she was in a relationship with Lee. In 2008 she is living on her own with an upstairs flatmate named Stuart. These two men are very different - and so is Catherine. In the 4 years Haynes unfolds what happened to make her such a different person and you completely understand how she got to where she is.
I can see why
this was UK's Best Book of the Year in 2011 and the film rights have already
been sold. It is harsh and gripping and
worth the read.
