She seems too good to be true…

When Meg meets Tina, it’s like the most perfect meeting of minds. Their friendship feels naturally joyful – like they’ve had a space waiting in their lives for each other. And, with both being survivors of the same illness, there is an instant bond.

But Tina’s not all she seems to be. She has another name. And secrets that are destined to find their way to the surface, creating a danger that Meg could never have predicted.

In Meg’s world, Tina isn’t the only person who is lying. And someone is about to become an unwitting pawn in a complicated – and deadly – game.

Really enjoyed this audiobook, great plot with plenty of twists and turns. Kept me intrigued and listening for longer than I intended. Narrator was brilliant. Will look for more by this author.

Billed as a thriller but sent me to sleep. From the start the prologue thanked charity workers which was great. The story focuses on somebody who has survived cancer and then connecting with someone who also has cancer. And then about people finding God during their journey. All fine by me. But I wanted a thriller that was promised- the story went on and on and kept referring to how brave they were and the story didn't actually go anywhere. To the point I got so bored, I asked for a refund. Don't rely on the 5 star rating I read. Unless like me, you can use this audiobook as a sedative.

Repetitive theme wasnt thrilling at all
