I read this for my book club.

I found it an easy read but felt that the IRA and troubles were glossed over a bit and it was a very 'light' book.
For me, the characters weren't very likeable and I didn't care about them or what happened to them.

What I thought would be an interesting plot turned out to be quite drawn out and unrealistic. For the length of the book, not much really happened.

Not a terrible book but it was a bit Mills & Boon for my liking.

I couldn’t get into this book. I read three chapters.

This book gives the best insight to both sides of the Irish troubles. If I thought I knew what side I was on before I read this book I had to reassess everything I believed. It shows a deep understanding that to every story there is always another view. The characters were well written and you felt for Danni's grief and anger. The developing relationship between her and Johnny was heartbreaking and one felt as torn emotionally as she must have been. A definate five stars from me. Well done Ms Deveney.
