There is a lot of emotion in this book and at times it did make me feel sad and cause me to pause and think about life but the author wrote about these sensitive subjects tactfully and with sympathy. Told in the first person by Rachel you really feel her paranoia, distrust and emotions, although I did find it hard to totally endear to her. I was totally bewildered by what secrets the main protagonists' Rachel and Jack could have been harbouring, although towards the end I did start to suspect what was coming in the end. I read this over the period of a weekend and was perfect for lazy sunny reading in the garden. The story is quite slow and steady in its plot but straight away you feel you are encircled in a bubble of intrigue and secrets that you don't want to escape from until the book is finished. I love when you can truly relate to places in books, it makes it so much more realistic. There were times I felt like I was actually standing in Oban's harbour smelling the fish and chips and then standing in Newcastle's city centre looking at the Monument, so well had the author captured and portrayed these places I know so well. I bought this book "Everything But The Truth" for a couple of reasons - I'd heard so many good things about it on social media and the fact that I live in NE England and love the Highlands of Scotland - both places where the story is set.
