I was rather excited to get Ruth’s latest book. But it had a lot to live up to after the first three books: did it manage it?
Yes.
Just like the previous three books, we’re treated to a wonderful set of diverse characters and taken on a roller coaster rides of highs and lows, finishing with a most excellent bittersweet ending.
As to the story, it becomes pretty obvious to anyone paying attention who Billies’ mother is, the cheque gave it away. And i did think i knew who the father was about the same time, but i realised i was wrong and picked the right one about 80% in. It certainly didn’t ruin it because the characters were so wonderful and it was still totally enjoyable to see how everything plays out, how Billie finds out and then how everyone reacts to the truth when it finally arrives.
Ruth has such a great way of telling a wonderful story. If you haven’t tried any of her books yet, do so soon.
Please Ruth, never stop writing.
