3.1/5

Libby and Jack are involved in a terrible car accident where Libby has to be cut out of the car. Jack is uninjured but Libby is in a critical condition and suffers a bad head injury along with many cuts and bruises. After spending quite some time in hospital she starts to recover and eventually Jack is allowed to take her home.The story flashes back to Jack and Libby's lives before the accident and we we discover how they met which was when Libby was purchasing her first car. Her first impressions of Jack were not so good to say the least. As the story unfolds we find out that Jack's first wife Eve died tragically at home. Eve was Jack first love and when she died he was heartbroken and thought he would never find true love again that was until he met Libby. Although Libby knows about Jack's late wife she becomes more unsure if Jack has ever loved her and if he is over the death of Eve. There are many nights when Libby is woken up because of Jack's nightmares where he is calling out Eve's name. When Libby approaches Jack the following morning he is reluctant to talk about it.One day whilst Libby is recovering at home after the accident she stumbles across diaries which belonged to Eve. At first she is reluctant to read them but then curiosity gets the better of her. These diaries started from when Eve was sixteen years old so Libby starts to get an understanding of who Eve really was and the life she led. Libby is quite surprised in what she finds in these diaries and in time will discover how Eve really died and now Libby worries if she too could be in danger.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was drawn into this story right from the start and thought it was a brilliant read. I will certainly be reading more books by this author and I have no hesitation in recommending this one.
