I didn't have any preconceived expectations of [book:Precious Thing|21308687] because, having been lucky enough to receive a (signed)! copy through a Twitter giveaway, I hardly knew anything about it.
The novel examines the aftermath when the tight childhood friendship between Rachel and Clara implodes.

There are several twists and turns along the way, some of which I saw coming, others which took me completely by surprise, and Precious Thing is certainly gripping. Other reviewers have favourably compared it to Gone Girl and it has the same kind of sharp pace. I started reading at 9pm and, to be honest, that is a silly time to start this book. You're not going to want to put it down until you've finished so start early - around breakfast time maybe!
