'A twist to rival Gone Girl left me gasping' KATY BRENT
––––––––––––––
Meet Emma. Emma is sick.
She can't work because of a neurological condition, so is stuck in her family's tiny council house.
Emma is sick of being told to 'get over it'.
Her stepfather, her doctors, strangers – everyone has an opinion.
Emma is sick of being the other woman.
Her boyfriend Adam is perfect: he's got a great job and an amazing home. His wife Celeste is the problem.
Emma is sick of being underestimated.
All she needed was a target. And now she has Celeste…
Emma is sick. Just not in the way you thought.
