Publisher's Summary
Before Ellen, things were easier and less complicated. They were either good or bad, right or wrong, black or white, and I understood the difference. Since Ellen, everything has been coloured in shades of grey.
From the author of The Secrets Between Us, part of the 2012 Richard and Judy Summer Reads, comes this dark, thrilling novel that is perfect for your book group. It's set 20 years ago against a backdrop of dreamy Cornish summers, a place where childhood friendship becomes young love, where love becomes obsession, and where obsession ultimately ends in betrayal and a tragic death. This magical novel traces a web of memories back through the years from the present day, ultimately showing that no matter how much you might try to forget the past, the past never forgets you.

Really, really great. Until the end. Again. (Spoilers)
Louise Douglas is a good writer. This is an intriguing, slow burn, psychological thriller that subtly flips the script from the story you were expecting into something else, something far better. However, this is the second novel of hers where she lets herself, and the reader, down at the end by choosing to employ a reverse version of deus ex machina where, rather than something impossible swooping in to save the day, a glaringly obvious solution that anyone with half a brain can see is completely ignored with ZERO explanation. Not even a half-hearted attempt. Spoiler: if Ellen calls for her aunt on the day she is having her baby and her aunt comes asap, WHY would she not call MONTHS before? She is 18. She knows her aunt will come. Why would she not call to make sure her aunt came to her birthday?? Or in the 6 months after?? She has zero loyalty to her father. She would be able to contact Jago from the safety of her aunt’s home. The only reason she doesn’t is so the author can kill her. Lazy, lazy end to a good story.
