Can she?
Review
There is no doubt that The Other Girlfriend is a slow burner but is it worth the investment? I would say so.
I wanted to know what would happen at the end. There were times I felt like it was never going to be revealed, but the simple writing style and Lizzie’s likeable character made it easy to go on. Likewise, one cannot help but dislike Tom, which meant I also wanted to read on to make sure he got his comeuppance.
While the story itself wasn’t very taxing, the complexity of childhood trauma was presented very well. I can’t say I’ve ever experience post-traumatic stress disorder or agoraphobia, but they seem to be dealt with in a realistic, respectful manner.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
