For fans of Jodi Picoult, a heart-pounding novel about a notorious murder that sets two teen girls on radically different life paths. As teenagers Poppy Carlisle and Serena Gorringe were the only witnesses to a high-profile murder. Amid heated public debate, the two seemingly glamorous teens were dubbed "The Ice Cream Girls" by the press and were dealt with by the courts-Poppy headed to prison after being convicted for murder and Serena was set free. Years later, after having led very different lives, Poppy is keen to set the record straight about what really happened. The only problem is she has no one to turn to and no clue where to begin her hunt for Serena. Meanwhile, Serena is married with children and wants no one in her present to find out about her past. Constantly looking over her shoulder, Serena knows she should come clean to her husband, however, she can't seem to find the words. With Poppy determined to salvage what's left of her reputation, Serena may not have a choice in reopening a can of worms that may threaten both their lives . . . again.

I've had this book on my kindle for a while but hasn't got round to reading it, having seen it has been adapted for TV I decided I wanted to read the book before I watched the dramatisation.
It was truly addictive,I have 4 children - 2 under 3 years old yet somehow I couldn't put this book down and read over half in one afternoon.last night I sat up till 2.30am somehow unable to pull myself away.
The story of Serena and Poppy who are accused of the murder of their ‘boyfriend' Marcus. Poppy has spent 20 years in prison for the crime whilst Serena who was acquitted built a life and family. Yet Poppy claims she didn't kill Marcus and is determined now she's free to clear her name and make Serena confess.
The best book I've read in ages it was gripping, it just pulled me along and although I'd guessed the conclusion it didn't leave me disappointed. Can't wait to watch the adaptation now.
