Vanessa has always found it easy to pretend to be somebody
different, somebody better. When things get tough in her real life, all she has
to do is throw on some nicer clothes, adopt a new accent and she can escape.
Her method of escape is to become a different character and go and view houses
which are for sale – houses which she can’t afford. After all, we’ve all done
it, gone for a nosy around a show home, it’s all harmless fun isn’t it? Well
it is until Vanessa is seen running from a house viewing and the police find a
dead body inside.
Then about 80% of the way through the book it all changed for
me – the twist felt like it had come out of no where and didn’t make sense, to
the point where I had to re-read a big chunk because I thought I’d missed
something.
The relationship between Vanessa’s sister Georgie and her
brother-in-law Jack just felt like it was there for padding, rather than having
any relevance or reason, and I still can’t understand why that was even in
there.
This story is set across two different time lines “Now” and “Then”
and occasionally a date was thrown in as well which at times I found quite confusing.
Sadly, it left me with a load of unanswered questions which I
have found really frustrating!
