I wanted to read this book because it sounded like something I could really get into. Grief, missing loved ones, I've recently been through that and I can easily connect with characters that were going through the same thing but for some reason, I couldn't connect with Rosie. I'm thinking because in...

One not so little secret leads to another then another then another. So where do I start? There was a lot of drama in this one and things did get a bit much. Both girls found themselves in situations not quite perfect, so I do understand why they felt the way they did, and I do understand the jealo...

Someone Else’s Life by debut author Katie Dale is not the type of book I would usually read. I tend to avoid books about fatal illnesses and their aftermaths. They’re just not my sort of book. I was pleasantly surprised by this book and I enjoyed reading it. Someone Else’s Life is told from the poin...

Rosie plans to get tested, but that's when her mum's friend, Sarah, tells her that her mum wasn't really her mum, that she was swapped with a premat...
