Hope Close

It was very easy to read, and the chapters flit perfectly between each character. The setup reminded me a lot of Desperate Housewives which I used to love watching! Welcome to Hope Close a cul-de-sac in the countryside with just four houses, who’s occupants prove that so much more goes on behind closed doors!

Then there’s Andy the new resident on Hope Close, who is fresh out of rehab and has a very mysterious past. I love the way Tina makes things so intriguing in her books that you just want to keep turning the pages. As Andy wants to keep himself to himself and let his secrets remain in the past, I think he has picked the wrong neighbourhood to move too.

I think this book would make a fantastic TV drama. The story is told from four POV’s – Layla, the unhappy housewife who has just had to agree to send her beloved son to boarding school.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it felt like starting with a jigsaw puzzle where all the pieces are initially scattered around but they all come together by the end. An awesome curtain twitcher read which bought out the nosey neighbour in me!
