A slow-burning psychological thriller told from two perspectives: Quinn's, who's reliable flat mate Esther, has disappeared; and Alex's, whose life is on hold in small-town America, with not much going for him, who becomes obsessed with a newcomer to his hometown. Atmospheric, clever and gripping.

Why isn't there a rating for 'Absolutely Love and Adore'?! This is one of my all-time favourite books. Anna McPartlin manages to take a heart-breaking topic and turn it into a book that makes you want to climb right inside because her characters are just so warm, funny, endearing and real!
