A LOVE HE’D NEVER FORGET

Ex-lawyer Noah has never forgotten his first love. When, years later, he hears that she’s suspected of murder, he knows with certainty that she’s innocent.

With April on life-support and the evidence pointing towards her guilt, he’s compelled to help her. But he’s also unprepared as he’s forced

to confront what happened between them all those years ago.

A SECRET SHE WOULD NEVER REVEAL

April Moon had loved Noah. She never wanted to hurt him. But there was something – and someone – dark in her life which made

happiness together impossible.

A FAMILY SHE COULD NEVER FORGIVE

Ella is a troubled teenager with her own secrets to tell. But no one will listen. What Ella knows holds the key to finding the killer. But as Noah, April

and Ella’s stories converge, shocking revelations come to the surface. The truth is obvious. Or so everyone believes . . .

I was fourteen when I fell in love with a goddess . . .

4. What did you think of Ella’s story?

5. What did you think of the depiction of first love and the obsessive nature of Noah’s devotion to April?

6. Noah puts April on a pedestal and believes she can do no wrong, what does he turn a blind eye to and what does he ignore?

7. What did you think of Noah and April’s relationship?

8. Noah can only see the good in April – do you think this is a common trait in relationships?

9. Noah’s mother did what she thought was right. As a parent, was her behaviour justified?

10. Do you think Noah was right to get involved and act as April’s lawyer?

11. Did you trust Will or doubt him from the beginning?

12. This is a novel about love in all it’s forms, in your opinion and based on the relationships in this book, what is the strongest form of love:

first love; mother and child; or best friendship?
