Ok, so I was just casually walking in Whsmith, looking for a book and I like to save money so I'm looking at the books with deals and what do I see? This gorgeous, fantastic, alluring black cover with the two characters (who I supposed to be the main characters) looking back at each other. And that was the moment. That was the moment when I knew that it was a fantastic book and it was going to be a fantastic read! 
 So on Monday, the beginning of my holiday I start reading and I find that I have already finished it (Wednesday) which kinda sucks as now I have nothing to read. 
 As many have already mentioned, the dates are confusing as you are swung back and forth in the past and present and also I just glanced at the year, I didn't really register them, so at times I got confused as I started reading and it didn't match with what I was reading in the previous chapter. Others have also mentioned about the many POV's and how confusing they are, I actually didn't, I liked seeing the different points of views from the different characters, as most have them had secrets to tell and it's different when that character tells you their story for themselves rather than they having the conversation with another character who you are following. However, I did like following Bailey and his story, I also liked the brief chapters of the walking through the circus as if you are a visitor, to later find that it's a story told by Widget. It was great that at the end all the pieces came together, everything was solved, it was actually unpredictable! 
 I love the writer's writing, it's not at all repetitive. The descriptions at times were a bit too much for me to read, but I realise that she has great talent and therefore potential for future books, which I am looking forward to! :D
