ASIN \u200f : \u200e <\/strong>B01LWTZ751<\/p>\n\n\n\n July 2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n About: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria Weston wants to be friends with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe that had been the problem all along: Maria Weston had wanted to be friends with me, but I let her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She’s been hovering at the edge of my consciousness for all of my adult life, although I’ve been good at keeping her out, just a blurred shadow in the corner of my eye, almost but not quite out of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria Weston wants to be friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Maria Weston has been dead for more than twenty-five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For a first novel this is gripping. The saying hiding in plain sight is so prevalent in this story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The plot runs fluidly but Louise’s guilt is slightly overplayed by being a continuous thread repeated throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I so wanted Maria to be alive, I almost expected Catherine to be her and that would have tied things up nicely. However the characters Catherine and Daisy never appear, they are just names to fill a gap, a reason for Sam to have left.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sophie the girl we all love to dislike, good at everything, beautiful and sassy but scratch below the surface and the cracks appear.. Sophie’s armour takes a beating when Pete her date reveals too much to Louise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And to Maria who is resurrected and haunting those to whom she feels as wronged her, that twist I never saw coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Laura Marshall ASIN \u200f : \u200e B01LWTZ751 July 2017 About: Maria Weston wants to be friends with me Maybe that had been the problem all along: Maria Weston had wanted to be friends with me, but I let her down.
