About the book

You think you have the perfect family.

But everything can be broken.

Liz and Jess have been friends for 10 years, ever since they both started a family. But how well do they really know each other?

When Jess arrives at hospital with a story that doesn’t add up, Liz is the doctor on call.

Jess has devoted her life to family and home. But she is holding so many secrets. As the truth begins to emerge, Liz is forced to question everything she thought she knew: about Jess, and about herself.

When something feels so personal, how do you stay professional?

‘Each character is brilliantly drawn, and the book delivers surprise after surprise.’ – Claire Fuller, author of Bitter Orange

‘I loved it and didn’t want to put it down. So, so good on motherhood and friendship.’ – Laura Marshall, bestselling author of Friend Request
