Our Review
This is such a heartfelt story about a girl called Bryony Masters who is determined to find her long lost sister who ran away from home when she was only sixteen.
Bryony had always looked up to Hannah and neither she nor her parents ever got over their loss. When their dad has a stroke it becomes even more important that Hannah is found as they are running out of time.
Bryony then applies for a TV game show called What Happens In... as she feels this will raise lots of publicity for her search.
On the show she meets up with gorgeous Lewis who is her friend’s neighbour and a man called Oscar who has a lovable little pug called Biggie Smalls, he is already famous on Instagram and has lots of followers.
The game show scenes were lots of fun and Carol was able to convey really well the amount of energy and buzz that goes on backstage. I was able to quiz my husband on the questions that the contestants were asked so he enjoyed it too.
The other aspect that Carol managed to convey really well was the emotion tied up in Bryony and Hannah’s relationship. Bryony was only a small child when Hannah left and she could never understand why she went especially as Bryony had an illness in childhood so was quite a fragile little thing.
I felt quite sad about all the years they had missed out on as sisters but I also really felt for Hannah too and it was interesting to eventually see her side of the situation and what was going through her mind at the time.
I really liked Bryony’s character and was rooting for her the whole time and think she really got what she deserved in the end.
A lovely emotional read about sisterly love
