About this ebook

Can you ever escape your past?
Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell

Four years in prison were hard but I thought things were looking up when I landed a job at Bright’s Industrial Laundry.
I just wanted to get on with my life, put my past, my mistakes behind me.
With only six months’ probation left to serve, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just wanted to keep my head down and nose clean.
But little did I know I was no safer on the outside than I was on the inside.
The boss, Terry, didn’t want us to forget.
But I wasn’t going to be another one of his victims and I would do anything not to go back...

Ratings and reviews

This book was a good read actually... It kept me quite entertained... Apart from the chain smoking like have never heard so much in my life 🚬 🫣 It was a change to read a young womans point of view of being in prison and life after... She was not dealt a fair card in life but making the best of a bad situation and trying desperately to better her life with so much against her will she make it..??.. This is defo worth a read and worth 4 stars from me x 4 🌟 Also loved how the main character and Karla built up such a lovely understanding friendship 🥰🥰 This book also had me in stitches at times 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍

Gripping reading. Love all the books I have read so far. Amazing plot twists. highly recommend.
