You think you know her…

But look a little closer

 

She is a stay-at-home mother of three with boundless reserves of patience, energy and love. After being friends for a decade, this is how Liz sees Jess. 

 

Then one moment changes everything. 

  

Dark thoughts and carefully guarded secrets surface – and Liz is left questioning everything she thought she knew about her friend, and about herself.

From the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal – a new thought-provoking novel exploring the complexity of motherhood and all that connects and disconnects us. 

Where on earth should I start on describing a simply fantastic book. 

I mean I can't really talk about the plot as I'd be giving away spoilers left right and centre. but suffice to say it is utterly gripping and I struggled to put it down, to go to bed last night! 

From the first few pages I was intrigued and had to get to the truth of just what happened, and it is with Sarah Vaughan's excellent story telling prowess that keeps you on your toes throughout the story. 

Little Disasters is such an apt title, as it really does feature the stories for a few little disasters that due to people's handling of them, take on a much bigger life than they needed to.  It is also a stark look at what thoughts a mother may have of their children. 

It also asks the question of us of how well can you truly know your friends, and what they are thinking. Even best friends have secrets, but whether you discover them or can support each other is another matter. 

This really is a spectularly good book, you get slow flashback scenes of key incidents in the recent and no so recent past from various perspectives which helps you connect the dots to the truth. 

I loved and was hooked on every single second of this story and along with Anataomy of a Scandal, proves just what a tremendous talent Sarah Vaughan is.  I can't wait to see what she writes next. 

Thank you Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
