MY REVIEW
I have read The Forgotten Sister and The Second Child, which I loved reading both of those books.
So as I am a big fan of the author Caroline Bond, and after reading the blurb on the story for Thea and Denise, I thought it sounded a good story about them going on a road trip. Plus I loved the cover and thought this story is for me.
I have to be quiet honest, I was quite surprised to find out while reading the first five or so chapters that nothing much happened to keep me glued to story, unlike when I read the other two books, The Forgotten Sister and The Second Child I literally couldn’t put either of them down.
I was genuinely surprised that I didn’t get into Thea and Denise. As I am one those readers that can get into most books.
But Sadly for me this book was a difficult one to get into, as after about five or six chapters nothing happened to keep up my interest. I just didn’t know where the story was going.
However this is my own reflection of Thea and Denise.
I would definitely read a another book by Caroline Bond as she is one of my favourite authors, but not this novel.
Lots of other reviewers have enjoyed reading this book. As Caroline Bond is one my favourite authors with previous books of hers that I have enjoyed I will recommend reading Thea and Denise.
I would like to thank Corvus for sending me an early proof copy in exchange for an honest review
About author Caroline Bond
Caroline Bond was born at the seaside and still feels happiest when walking into a headwind with the prospect of fish and chips on the near horizon. She had a fulfilling career in research before becoming a writer.
Her debut, The Second Child, was inspired, in part, by her experiences working with, and raising, a disabled child. Her second, The Forgotten Sister, reflects her belief that our life chances are hugely impacted by our upbringings. Her third, One Split Second, explores guilt and forgiveness.
She is a slow, but tenacious runner and not a bad cook.

I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy this as much as the others, but hopefully the next one will be better.

I’ve really loved her other books so I found it strange how I didn’t get into this one. I’m sure I will love her next novel.
