Reviews
A haunting debut that grips you from the outset. * The Bookseller *
A clever plot, defined characters, and fabulous writing. There isn't much more you could ask for. My Second Life is bound to be rushed off bookshop shelves very soon. * The Guardian *
A rich, dense read which skilfully employs dramatic tension to absorb the reader wholly into a constantly shifting world of revelation. * Books for Keeps *
An ingenious concept, an intriguing mystery and a gripping story told with pace and passion... An amazing and thrilling debut * Blackpool Gazette *
An astonishingly accomplished debut novel. Highly recommended. * School Librarian *
