3*
Alex Fox knows there are lots of things she should be.
She should be the perfect wife to her chronically ill husband Sam, and the perfect mother to their two daughters. She should be excelling in her high-stress job. And she should be completing the demanding to-do lists she makes to keep herself on track.
Even if, just sometimes, she doesn't have time to breathe.
When Sam's condition worsens and Alex donates a kidney to save his life, her carefully scheduled existence starts to unravel - eventually forcing her to face up to a past that she has buried for years.
As the family she has fought so hard for threatens to fall apart, can Alex finally confront the mistakes that have shaped her - and rediscover what is most important in life?
A riveting read that highlighted the issue of bullying both in childhood and adulthood, I liked Alex most of the time although she did annoy me on occasion and the characters complimented the plot well, it was too slow paced for me, hence my rating but the emotion, the plot and the situations were descriptive and heartfelt, interesting and true to life.
This book is well worth a read.
