The girls left behind, by Emily Gunnis, published by Headline Review

Emily Gunnis is a talented writer from United Kingdom who puts a lot of research into what she is writing about, and let me tell you it pays off. 

If you have ever wondered how people’s lives intertwine this is the book for you, and it all starts with a police women answering a call for help.

The characters are very relatable (or hate-able) And it is because of this I was not able to put the book down. Following the lives of Jo, Gemma, Olive, Hollie, Daisy and Megan took me away from my world and into each of theirs. 

I find some books, that try to have a twist, can be predictable and I carry on reading to confirm my predictions, Emily Gunnis, however, had me shouting at the book in pure shock. I even went back a couple of paragraphs to make sure I read it properly. 

The book follows a police investigation but has so much more depth to it, it’s not just a ‘who did it?’ story, it explains how situations impact different people, and how without realising, they have been part of each others lives all along.

I didn’t find any lulls in the story, it was easy to follow and made me feel so many different emotions. When I finished the book I was sad it was over, I hope there is more to come from this talented author.

Now the nights have drawn in, get your favourite mug filled with hot chocolate, find the most comfortable spot and be prepared not to move until you have finished the book.

Thank you to Emily Gunnis, Headline Review and NetGalley for allowing me to read this amazing book ready for release.
