'Such a great read.If you like Lisa Jewel and Alice Feeney, you will love this’
How can you ever feel safe, when you can’t trust your own mind?
Izzy pulled me close and the two of us became partners, exploring the dark place that was hidden deep in my mind.
Since being a teenager, Lucy has never felt comfortable in her own skin - instead desperately replicating the lives of those she admires. Lucy’s parents, Cath and Jon, are still reeling from their daughter’s last attempt to be someone different. Even though twenty years have passed since that obsession reached a traumatic conclusion, they are still living their lives haunted by reflections of the past.
But now things seem calmer. Lucy has made a new life and seems happy. The summer stretches ahead with the promise of time spent with those she loves and the chance to reconnect with her husband. Instead, on arrival at their holiday cottage, Lucy is captivated by the small pieces left behind by the woman who stayed in there the week before her. She quickly imagines how perfect her life could be if the two of them became best friends, and enjoys her version of a holiday romance with a woman she will never meet.
But what happens if your holiday infatuation returns home with you? As Lucy is drawn further into an intense friendship with the charismatic Izzy, she is slowly consumed by the darkness of her troubled mind, fearing those around her mean her harm.
And when one friend is no longer prepared to share, the result can be deadly.
Readers are loving A False Reflection:

'By the end of the book I wasn't sure I could trust my own mind either!'
