All The Little Things by Sarah Lawton
Never trust anyone. Never trust yourself.
Rachel has made poor decisions in the past, but she has always tried her best for her daughter. When Vivian needed a fresh start, Rachel didn’t hesitate to move them far from London. She just wishes she could shake the nagging doubt that Vivian is hiding something.
Vivian isn’t like other teenagers. On the surface she seems the same as her friends, but she knows she is different. When enigmatic Alex takes an interest in her, Vivian’s cool demeanour hides an intensity of feeling she has never known before. His touch sets her skin on fire.
Mother and daughter are both keeping secrets. But just how dangerous are they? As lust and anger give way to violence Rachel will have to decide: is she prepared to give up everything for her child? Even her own life?
A taut and gripping psychological thriller about toxic families, secrets and life-or-death decisions. Don’t miss this if you’re a fan of He Said/She Said, Good Me, Bad Me and The Girlfriend.

Review.
’All The Littles Things’ rocked me to the core - it was intense, psychotic and chilled me to the bone. Enthralled is not enough - I just could not put this book down as I had to know the ending! I know what side of the nature vs nurture debate this book falls on. But what a ride to get there.
Vivian and Rachael live in a quite picture perfect village in England and seem to have a great life. Vivian has close friends and Rachael has a job she loves. But there are secrets abound and when they begin to emerge life is never the same again for them.
I loved this book! The characters of Vivian and Rachael were both spine-chilling in their own ways. There is so much I want to talk about but I can’t as it would totally spoil the book and I don’t want that to happen as the surprises are what makes this book. The writing is excellent and the creation of characters that cause this level of feelings show that it’s a great piece. The dual timeline was a good way to understand the phycology behind how the characters develop and their actions.
I urge you to read this book - mainly so I have someone to talk to about it! It’s one of those books that you need to discuss so please let me know your thoughts.
Also happy publication day!!!!
