What an ending! The last chapter sealed the 5 star rating for me. Loved Jessica, Norah, and Alicia - particularly Norah. Haven't had a book I couldn't put down for a while and this was a real page turner. I'll definitely look for more by Sally Hepworth. It's quite dark in places so I recommend checking the trigger warnings, especially if you’ve ever been in the foster care.
