This book reminded me of 'IT' by Stephen King, 4 boys and 1 girl, each with their own set of problems (except there is no clown or scary spider)

I thought when I started this book I'd found a good creepy/thriller but NOT!

I trudged along with the chapters going back and forth from 1986 to 2016, I don't like writing like that but I hoped this would be a good one---NOT!

I found nothing creepy about it, I found no thriller in it, what I did find was a slow, draggy, sludge-mudge story that didn't have any 'oomph' to it at all

This is Tudor debut novel and I'd try another by her, I liked the length of the book - 277 pages - but in that short length it just wasn't thrilling at all and the 'group' of friends are just forgettable so it makes for a dull read
