What readers are saying about Gone to Pieces:
What made Gone to Pieces special for me as a reader, was the choice of protagonist middle-aged wife and mother, Rebecca
proving that women over 50 are the ones who often have the most complex stories'
This was a really unusual read but loved it
Thoroughly enjoyable and unique book'
I loved that it's based on a middle-aged woman struggling with her mental health as I don't think this is covered often. I found Rebecca to be a really likable character and I was really rooting for her the whole way through.'
