Ratings and reviews

I was immediately pulled into this story from the first chapter and with its last sentence,”While the neighbourhood wives kissed their husbands good morning, I planted death’s kiss on mine.” I knew this was going to be one wild ride. I was right! What a rollercoaster the reader is taken on with this story and never a saying is more true than “No one really know what goes on behind close doors” than it is in this book! Less is more in terms of me discussing the story so I won’t elaborate beyond the blurb, but I will say that the plot really is an intriguing one. It deals with drug use, rape, consent, physical and mental abuse, infidelity, and murder! Pamela has done a really great job in her execution of these sensitive subjects and each plays out an important part throughout the story as does the friendship between the three leading ladies. The characters in the story are a mixed bag of likeable and unlikeable ones and each play their role out well. Although I was unable to connect with them all, I could not fault the way that they have been written. Each really comes to life, jumps off the page and evoked all sorts of emotions in me. One in particular made my blood boil. I don’t need to tell which one. You will know… This is the first book I have read from Pamela and I will be on the look out to read more of her work. She was able to keep me engaged and had me wanting to keep turning the pages. I really loved her prose, which to give you an example, is so beautifully written “Some days he felt like a warm rain, but recently he had become a torrent sweeping me out to a stormy sea, drowning me” All up One Perfect Morning is a gripping edge of your seat read that is the perfect escape to get lost in. It is fast paced, twisty, full of secrets, lies and deceit, making it a downright wonderfully wicked read! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next Pamela. It was a pleasure to be able to read and review One Perfect Morning which I highly recommend. Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books and Pamela Crane for allowing me to read an advanced copy of One Perfect Morning which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Oh I liked this one! Exciting, unpredictable and so very good. Robin, Lily and MacKenzie have been friends since college; now beginning their fourth decade and still close. Husbands, kids and relationships all fit around their friendships. They think they know everything about each other or do they? Can their friendship survive secrets? I'm particularly fond of novels with three women as the main characters, and this is right up there with the best of them. These three each live their own lives but are joined by the invisible thread of long time friendships; they know things about each other that bind them firmly together. As we get to know them and their families, we find out what makes each of them tick and the secrets are slowly revealed - and just when you think you know everything, you find out that you don't really know much at all! I became involved in all three women's lives very quickly; I sympathised and empathised with each of them in different ways, but I didn't know the half of it! A stunning read, packed with suspense, well-written and divested of all it's revelations by the final page, this is one I'm very happy to recommend to those who don't like to see what's coming next. Five stars, and worth every single one.
