Description: ❝This is a love story. This is a tragedy. This is a book about a break up so bad that when you put the pieces of the love story back together, what you get is murder. Mike understands that most of us travel through the world as one half of a whole, desperately searching for that missing person to make us complete.
Mike and Verity met in college and were together for eight years. A few months after the relationship ended Mike received an invitation to Verity’s wedding. He had been living and working in New York and had recently moved back to London where V, short for Verity, also lives.
Mike is settling back in London and getting the house ready for V’s return because he knows they’re meant for each other. This is as much as I want to say about the story.
The novel is narrated from Mike’s point of view and the author did an excellent job with the writing and his characterization. I was glued to this dark story from the start. The last pages were the best where the author revealed poignant a social message. At the end, you are going to end up hating or loving this book.
I loved it and recommend it to readers of thrillers and contemporary fiction.
