This was a reading group choice. It’s a page-turner and very absorbing. There’s an interesting idea of a group of recent graduate friends decide to live self-sufficient lives in a deserted cottage in the Peak District. But the characters aren’t well-drawn, at times are completely unbelievable and some aspects of the plot I saw coming a mile off.

* I knew about halfway through the book that Mac would be William.
* As soon as Freya became pregnant I knew the baby was Lila.
* I found it very difficult to believe that Kat would love Simon even after Freya told her that he raped her.
* It was difficult to believe that Kat, by trying to pull Lila back, ended up pushing her down the stairs.
