Review

Oh my goodness, I sobbed through the last 10 pages of this! You will laugh as well though, hilarious and so poignant at the same time. A diverse group of strangers are held hostage at a flat viewing by a failed bank robber. But it’s so much more than that! I’ll be reading it again and that’s very unusual for me. Can’t recommend highly enough…everyone should read this!
