A wonderful story , the characters felt real and relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was gripped throughout with several unexpected twists and turns. My only criticism is the narrator over using’ ah ha ‘ instead of yes and I was shocked and upset by the outdated use of the word’ retard ‘ . Used in the wrong context this word is offensive and was not at all necessary or fitting with the storyline.

Loved this story
