Ursula, Gareth and Alice have never met before.
Ursula thinks she killed the love of her life.
Gareth’s been receiving strange postcards.
And Alice is being stalked.
None of them are used to relying on others – but when the three strangers’ lives unexpectedly collide, there’s only one thing for it: they have to stick together. Otherwise, one of them will die.
Three strangers, two secrets, one terrifying evening.
My Review:
This is the easiest and quickest 5 star review I can give. Strangers is EXACTLY what I needed in the midst of this strange new world and stuck in Lockdown and I definitely recommend it to any reader who enjoys quirky characters, twisty plots and a gripping storyline.
The story centres around 3 strangers; Ursula – a kleptomaniac with a heartbreaking past; Alice – a newly divorced middle aged woman looking for love and Gareth – a dedicated son and proud security guard. These 3 strangers don’t know each other but a random chain of events brings them together and turns their worlds upside down.
Normally when I read a book with multiple characters who each narrate their own story I often find myself preferring one particular voice, however in Strangers I absolutely adored all 3 of the main characters which meant triple the enjoyment for me.
Honestly, there’s not much else I can say except I loved Strangers, I loved the characters, the book kept me gripped and allowed me to escape this strange reality. 5 huge stars from me.
