What We Thought We Knew

What We Thought We Knew

By Claire Dyer

Genre:-Contemporary/Literary

Pages:-280

Publisher:-Vanguard Press

Blurb:- Four children, three marriages, two secrets, and one unfathomable tragedy: the families at numbers two, four and six Penwood Heights are connected by work, friendship, the loss of a child and a secret truth which has sat in the bedrock of their lives for years.

In the centre of this tight-knit group is Faith, who believes her job is to act as

a paperweight, keeping them all safe. And she does this until someone from her past reappears and threatens to sabotage everything. And, as the pieces fall, these families, these friends, realise that what they

thought they knew about one another was nothing more than make-believe. They also discover that trust is illusory and for Faith, at least, that keeping other people’s secrets can be more dangerous than keeping her own.

My Review:-Where do I start with this book, it's a book filled with emotions, regrets and secrets. Even though I liked how the book was set out, I did find it hard to get into at first but it soon became easier to read and what a read it was. The story does switch between characters, but the characters did feel real which did make you think about people you know. Do we really know are friends? Can a secret really stay a secret? There are some trigger warnings, Childhood death, mental illness, cheating, and eating disorders.
