I read this book quite a while back but I'd forgotten to write a review so here it is!
That was a very interesting read with some very interesting characters. Freda seemed completely loopy at times but I still loved her. Oh and I have to mention Holly whose typical teenage responses made me laugh. She really was funny.
The storyline was a bit bonkers at times insofar as the characters responses to certain things, which likely wouldn't happen in real life, making it less than believable at times (which means the book might not be everyone's cup of tea).
I personally enjoyed it despite that, it is fiction afterall.
The book seemed to have been left on cliffhanger, so I'm hoping there's a sequel to this!
Thank you to Pigeonhole and Susan Lewis for the chance to read this book.
