So clever and brilliantly observed. I felt so acutely [Liv's] agonising dilemma, her fear for her son and the sometimes brutal nature of love. I definitely let out a few gasps at the end! It reminded me a lot of Broken Country – which I also loved

Emily Edwards, author of The Herd and Private Lives

A devastating moral dilemma that asks how far a mother would go to stay alive for her child. Gripping, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down

Emily Freud, author of Her Last Summer and The Cliffhanger

This taut thriller simmers with the slow-burn tension of a life-threatening dilemma that has no easy answers. Wilding writes vivid prose that elevates a unique scenario to make for a compelling read. Recommended for a deliciously dark book club read that will have you asking 'What would I do?'

Jo Furniss, author of Guilt Trip

It is beautifully written, heartbreaking (and at times heart-stopping) with plenty of twists to keep me turning the pages. The raw, visceral emotion of a mother's love for her child is perfectly rendered on the page and the clever, surprising plot ensured I was invested right up until the very end

Kathryn Sharman, author of The Family at No. 23

This is a stylish and elevated suspense novel with a bold and fresh premise. Wilding captures the experience of chronic illness with sensitivity and insight. I was drawn into Liv's world and rooted for her throughout, even when her decisions were flawed and desperate. This isn't a book you should start when you have commitments because you'll want to hide away till you finish

Chris Bridges, author of Sick to Death

Blisteringly taut and exquisitely written, with twists at every turn. I can't remember the last time a book delivered so many surprises

Celia Silvani, author of Baby Teeth
