But Grace’s journey onward journey proves to be far more than about collecting and delivering that cake. The novel is as cleverly constructed as Grace and the other characters are drawn. There is a hint of mystery about what has happened. Being so invested in Grace's story it's hard not to get emotional as the stroy unfolds and we find out the reason behind what is going on

It’s a journey towards finally confronting the truly dreadful thing that happened in the past, that hasn’t been dealt with or processed fully and which is truly responsible for unravelling her family. TORSCHLUSSPUNK "The notion that you haven't done very much with your life, that you've missed the boat, that you've left it too late. Something along the way happens because now in the present day. This one is a must read!

Grace is flawed, resilient, funny, and more than a little bit broken, but she also proves herself to be capable, strong, a warrior and a true survivor. Fran uses flick backs in Grace's story, how she met Ben and how their lives both become entwined and unravelled, but WHY? But a lot of what she says and feels will resonate with a lot of people.

This is an exceptionally strong debut, with a main character you completely root for and a beautiful and moving exploration of love, acceptance and redemption. This isn't a thrills and spills story.
. On the way to her daughters 16th birthday (which she's barred from) with a Love Island birthday cake, Grace just snaps!
