But there is a difference between use for sensation, just for the sake of it, or as a tool to immerse the reader in the story. Sex scenes are notoriously very hard to write well, but the author launches into the scenes as vigorously as the protagonists and with enormous credibility and sensitivity. Sarah Pinborough shies away from neither.

As they work together to find out what happens, the sinister world of intrigue surrounding Natasha’s drowning is slowly revealed. So she elicits the help of a former friend Becca, who is keen to help her because she has never really got over Natasha dumping her and wants to feel again the warmth of their once close bond. After 16-year-old Natasha effectively dies for 13 minutes when she nearly drowns in a river, she has no idea what has happened to her or who was responsible for it.
