Don't Close your Eyes | Holly Seddon

There are a lot of books of like this one out there at the moment, I think it started with Girl on a Train...and I've had to review quite a few of them. Mostly are opportunistic, badly written rants.

BUT, if you want a thriller that won't disturb your sleep but will keep you entertained, this is a very good one.

Two families in the Uk are friends, then swap partners, and the children are left in the middle to agonise through the upheavals of blended families and broken relationships.
Robin and her twin Sarah are separated, Callum leaves with his Mum, and is relieved to be away from his abusive Dad. A tangled web is woven. A tragedy has occurred in the past, we're not sure what. It has traumatised all the children, and they have no contact with each other just a few years after living together as blended families.

The chapters are told from the point of view of the twins, then and now. Robin is a recluse, Sarah has lost her daughter and husband and in desperation starts looking for her twin, who does not want to be found.

The intrigue keeps you reading.
