    I read this book a few months ago but I think I might reread it so it's fresh in my mind to discuss. I did really enjoy it at the time, my current favourite of hers.

    I picked it up in a 2 for £7 in Asda, if anyone is interested. Not sure if that offer is still on anymore, but it's definitely worth checking out since it's usually £7.99!

    Of course it's OK Suzier - the more the merrier!  The discussion will kick off on Monday 3 November but don't worry if you've not finished by then, you can add your thoughts at a later date.

    How is everyone doing with this book?  I'm afraid I'm really struggling with it.  I've persevered to about halfway and will try to plod on with it, but it's just not grabbing me!

    I finished it last week, thought it dragged on a bit at the end, but read it ok.
    If you just cant manage it, you can always go onto the thread when we talk about it and say what you didnt like...why you abandoned it.Hmm
