Gabe and Pippa have a seemingly perfect life. They just moved in to their dream house by the sea, they have two adorable daughters, and their family is very involved. However, their house is located right beside a notorious cliff- a popular site where people take their own lives. Gabe has earned a reputation by convincing people not to jump, but one day when a woman approached the cliff, he doesn’t manage to stop her. He claims the woman was a stranger, but Pippa is convinced there’s more to the story. As the book goes on, we learn that Gabe and Pippa’s relationship might not be as perfect as it seems and that secrets are threatening to surface.
I thought this book was really interesting. At first, I was convinced that this family had everything, so I was genuinely shocked at every reveal. I really liked reading from Amanda’s perspective. She was so mysterious and her point of view was quite revealing. While this isn’t my favorite Sally Hepworth, (nothing can beat The Good Sister in my opinion) it was still very intriguing and sinister. I definitely recommend!
