I've just finished Both of You and it wasn't a pleasant read. I wasn't a fan so don't think I'll be buying any more of her books.
Just wondered if someone could tell what actually happened in the sequel, Just Between Us?

I thought both of you was ok although I struggled with the idea that Leigh would do something like that.
I started just between us and really couldn’t get into it so I’m afraid I don’t know but hopefully someone else will!
on the whole I do like Lisa Jewel she had a range of books (her early stuff is more chick lit)
I really enjoyed -
Dont let him in
The night she disappeared
The making of us

Yes I know Lisa Jewell she's one of my favourite authors
I've read her since her early stuff years ago which is just as good as the more recent ones
(It's weird because I think people only started raving about her in recent years)

I don't even think she's comparable to Adele Parks

I've read two of Adele Parks' books now and wasn't impressed with either really so won't be buying any more

Just thought someone might know how it ended, out of curiosity!

Adele Parks is way better than Jane Green, but these two books are her weakest.

purpleme12 · 19/06/2026 07:36

Doesn't Jane Green write a completely different type of books?

It's an odd comparison to make

Anyway I have read another of Adele Parks' books and wasn't a fan of that either

But it sounds like you've read Just Between Us so are you able to answer the thread?

Maybe this section doesn't get enough traffic then

Thought with her being such a popular author someone might know and want to say

Meanwhile Daan is suspected of murdering Kylie.
