 Violet has always been in the shadow of her mesmerising, controlling brother Will, and when a shocking secret about Will's past is revealed, things get even worse.

Please read all. It's very good but there is a section where violets best friend and brother are found snogging in the brothers bedroom, this is fairly mature for younger readers I am 12 and I really enjoyed this book 📚

I was so engrossed in this story that I finished it in less than two days. I loved the fact that the siblings were the best of friends as well as mortal enemies. - 11 yr old
