I am thrilled to be taking part in the Random Things blog
tour for Only May today. I received a copy of this book as part of the blog
tour.
The book begins on May’s seventeenth birthday and the air is
heavy with something that May does not yet understand.
May has a gift, which is that she can see straight through people
when they are lying – it’ something in their eyes and demeanour, she just
knows.
Therefore, when her mother and Aunt appear evasive, she
realises that they are hiding something from her and she is determined to find
out what it is. However, when May starts to look into her own history it
threatens to bring everything that her mother and Aunt have constructed out
into the open.
Only May is a haunting book that is full of secrets and
suspense. It is beautifully written and I felt like I knew May by the end of
the novel.
This is the first book that I have read by Carol Lovekin and
I really enjoyed it. I would definitely like to read more by this author.
