Fabulous book for a Sunday afternoon

This is the third Koomson novel I’ve read, following The Cupid Effect and My Best Friend’s Girl, and I really enjoyed it - stormed through it in a weekend in fact - it’s just ne of those books that’s easy to read and keeps you wanting to find out more.
Koomson covers some hard hitting issues - alchoholism, divorce and rape - and she deals with them sensitively - don’t write this book off as pure *chick-lit*!
As the story unfolded I felt like I knew the characters; the twins are just adorable and it is heart-breaking at times the way they have to deal with their mother’s addiction. I have to admit that I hoped at times that Kendra and Kyle would get together to make the *perfect family* but Koomson went in the other - more realistic direction - and the ending was so much better for it.
This really is an enjoyable novel - and one that I highly recommend.
Rating
5 stars - hard-hitting issues covered in a sensitive way - it’s going on my *read again* pile
