The brilliant sequel to the best-seller The Ice Cream Girls
One of the best books I've read this year. The author plays a blinder
We loved the amazing The Ice Cream Girls back in 2010, so we were super-excited to read this sequel - and we weren't disappointed!
An immersive and complex story, handling distressing subjects with wisdom and courage. Characters you care deeply for, a twisty, shocking story, but also emotionally astute and very moving
This is Dorothy Koomson's brilliant follow-up to the bestseller The Ice Cream Girls - we just couldn't put it down
This gripping crime drama also explores themes of family, friendship and the problems people of colour can face in the justice system
