This book is my first read from the author's collection. On the whole, it is an average read. Given, some of the content might be disturbing as it contains sexual abuse and mental torture, so pick your read after reading this review.
It is a story of two teenagers Serena and Poppy, who fell in love with their schoolteacher Marcus. Even though the relationship was torturing and mentally draining for both of them, they hadn't tried to end it.
One fine day, when both of them get into an ugly spat with Marcus, the latter end up dead, putting girls in a spot of being murderers.
Both of the girls denied the accusation despite being the only witnesses of the incident. After trials, Serena got acquitted, whereas Poppy ended up in prison for twenty years.
In the present day, Serena is a prisoner of her conscience that keeps on putting her down whenever there is a chance. She is always fearful that somehow her husband and his family will get to know about her past.
On the other hand, Poppy is also unable to let go of Marcus in her head. Even after release from prison, Poppy is adamant about proving that Serena was the culprit. For this, she followed her and even approached her husband to threaten her in accepting the crime.
In the end, the mystery of Marcus's murder will be made known to the readers. That can be a fascinating part, but don't skip to the last.
I will put on review of the same shortly. Stay tuned.
