Summary

An apparently happy marriage. A beautiful son. A lovely home. So what makes Emily Coleman wake up one morning and walk right out of her life? How will she survive? And what is the date that looms, threatening to force her to confront her past? No-one has ever guessed her secret. Will you? Tina Seskis's One Step Too Far is an absolutely unputdownable story of secrets and heartbreak.

A slow mover, but it has some twists

An easy listen with some twist and turns in the story but all in all it is quite a slow book. I feel the voice for Emily sounds too old for what I imagine which was a bit off putting. I felt that I really wanted to get to know other characters a bit better than what the book allowed.

I would still recommend this book those it is a good summer listen/read for your holidays.

all it takes is a seconds lack of concentration

Losing Daniel affects his parents in different ways. Sad and tragic, you'll need tissues for this one.

Overall a lot of misery

I found this ok and yes there was a twist to it that really is difficult to guess. It moves along at quite a slow pace and I did think the characters were not all that interesting. I thought the narrative was really good but would not rush out to buy another book by this author.

Enjoyable

I love this story - I like the characters and the twist at the end.

However, I do wish it had gone a bit more in to depth instead of repeating 'feelings'.
I felt it was a little repetitive regarding how she feels all the time.
I would rather of heard more about Angels background and her parents etc.

Though, all in all - I really enjoyed the story.
Particularly the narrators - they are perfect! I will look out for others they have narrated!

Absorbing from beginning to end!

This story had so many twists and turns but nothing detracted from the sad and painful journey of Emily/Kat. Trying to start again after such pain is a familiar theme and this ultimately heartwarming ending was both a relief and satisfying. Excellent!

An ok read

Not brilliant but okay. A little too sentimental for my taste, and certainly not as good as ‘Girl on a Train ‘ to which it was compared but entertaining enough. I did feel if was over described and too slow but it filled a couple of hours and I would read something else by thus author.
