Absolutely outstanding!' Claire Douglas, bestselling author of The Wrong Sister 'Tense, thrilling and relatable.' Sun Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person? Susan sends her sister a gossipy message about their neighbour. But she accidentally posts it on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group instead.
