Nice easy read, Ellie married with 2 children leading an ordinary family life until one drive home changes everything when she witnesses a fatal car accident.... She just cant seem to move on especially as she is the one single witness of the accident who saw a man die... She was struggling to move past eat sleep or live so started googling the man who lost his life and quite quickly got entangled in his family life trying to help herself move forward by supporting his now widow.... Things got very interesting when one or two surprises came out.... Defo a 4 star read 🌟🌟🌟🌟📚🤗👍
