1 post | 1 read
Discover the gripping new YA thriller from the bestselling author of The One Memory of Flora Banks and This Summer's Secret. Two girls meet on a train journey. One of them - privileged, chaotic - is heading to an exclusive Swiss rehab centre following months of partying and living wildly. The other - who couldn't be more different - is down to her last penny, running away. When they get off the train they are both pretending to be the other. Just for a short period, of course. Just until the rehab stint is over . . .

Tabbi is a privileged rich girl who is heading, under protest, to an exclusive rehab centre in Switzerland. She meets Ruby on the train there & although they don't look that much alike, there's enough of a similarity for Tabbi to hatch a plan. She decides to befriend Ruby & persuade her to swap lives for 6 weeks - Ruby gets an all expenses paid break & Tabbi gets 6 weeks of freedom, but will Ruby be gullible enough to fall for it? (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf It seems she is, & they swap identities but Tabbi soon finds out that Ruby's life is far from uncomplicated & she may not have been telling the whole truth either.

This started off great with a good pace & a premise which hooks the reader from the start. I also liked that the two points of view were split in two sections of the book rather than alternating chapters. 4w
OutsmartYourShelf It was all rather far fetched, but as the story progressed it went from 'suspend your disbelief' to 'absolutely no way that happens' territory towards the end. The epilogue was also a step too far. It was a shame because I enjoyed two thirds of the book before it became too much. 3.5🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Penguin Random House UK Children's, for the opportunity to read an ARC. 4w
