The author makes it perfectly clear this book is nothing to do with covid and the anti Vader’s and debates on that as it was written before covid was about. until it was on offer for 99p, it then jumped to the top of my tbr pile 📚 Loved it, hope Emily Edwards writes more!

This about parents getting or not getting their children vaccinated against MMR mumps, measles and rubella which is German measles. I’m sure it will definitely cause some debates.

Highly recommended Which is made worse when tragedy strikes one of their children. The story is told through both viewpoints, with sections that are then designated to the trial. .

Couldn't put it down! Edwards successfully describes suburban life and friendships in a way that makes you feel she is describing your own world.

Every parent wants what is best for their child and this is how the story was handled, some had more choice than the other. Elizabeth and Bry are polar opposites but are best friends, the friendship shouldn’t work but it does. What I liked was that the story had empathy for each sides reasons it was looked into so carefully dealt with .

This is definitely a one or two sitting book, I immediately became invested in all of the characters and needed to know what happened next. I did get all three illnesses.
