Product Description

What would you do for the friend who broke your heart? Best friends Kamryn Matika and Adele Brannon thought nothing could come between them - until Adele did the unthinkable and slept with Kamryn's fiance, Nate. Worse still, she got pregnant and had his child. When Kamryn discovered the truth about their betrayal she vowed never to see any of them again. Two years later, Kamryn receives a letter from Adele asking her to visit her in hospital. Adele is dying and begs Kamryn to adopt her daughter, Tegan. With a great job and a hectic social life, the last thing Kamryn needs is a five year old to disrupt things. Especially not one who reminds her of Nate. But with no one else to take care of Tegan and Adele fading fast, does she have any other choice? So begins a difficult journey that leads Kamryn towards forgiveness, love, responsibility and, ultimately, a better understanding of herself.

Customer Reviews

A touching story with some laughs and lots of tears
I don't normally read these kinds of stories and was worried that it was going to be like some of the heartwrentching true stories that you see a lot of now. I bought it to go on holiday and agree with one of the other reviewers - don't take it on hols because you will need to have a good cry. I found some of it slightly hardly to believe (such as allowing a man you hardly know or like to befriend your 5yr old child) but still it's a very touching story and I really enjoyed it. I am going to find another story by Dorothy Koomson because it was so easy to read and I was disappointed when it ended (always a good sign for me).

Good, but...
Fantastic start, really touching and got you thinking, but, I do think it fizzled out a bit at the end?

Really makes you think
Not my usual genre of book but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.

A book that really gets you thinking 'what would I do in that situation'. Both funny and sad, a great read with a rollercoaster of emotions.
