I was looking forward to reading this, the blurb was one that made me instantly want to read it.
A woman running with her child from an abusive relationship to find safety for them both, however, I found the first half so confusing, I had to backtrack several times, there were a lot of shocking and disturbing things that happen and I think this may have added to the confusion but it turned out to be such a good thriller with lots of twists and turns, and during the second half of the book things started to become clear and I understood what was actually happening.
There are several triggers in this book, domestic abuse, animal cruelty and addiction.
It was a good book, the storyline once I ‘got’ it was brilliant. I will be looking for more books from Kate Bradley in the future. ( )

The blurb reads -"Lisa is running.

She has taken her child, Jack, and she has run from his father.

Lisa thinks she's safe.

She's found a remote house where no one will be able to find them.

Lisa is about to wake up in her worst nightmare.

And now she must face what she's tried to escape.

Risking everything to protect her little boy, Lisa knows that in order to survive she will have to fight, but it's hard to face someone you loved, especially someone you still love, who knows who you really are - and what you are really capable of.

Family is everything. What would you do to protect it?"

Wow, wow, wow!!! I really enjoyed this book it is very, very clever. The author leads you down a path, you think you know what is happening then it is all turned on its head! It examines the love between the mother and her child and how very strong this is.
This for me is my favourite book so far of 2021 - it was unputdownable!
Thank you so much to Netgalley, Bonnier Books UK and the author Kate Bradley for giving me the opportunity to read a copy of the book 'What I Did' - it was a wonderful read! ( )
