APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Emily Coleman has it all—an adoring husband, a beautiful son, a happy life—and then, suddenly, she doesn’t. Tina Seskis’ debut novel is a riveting psychological thriller about a woman trying to outrun her demons. Like the bestseller Gone Girl, One Step Too Far is utterly gripping, brimming with tension and explosive plot twists. Seskis teases out her characters’ secrets with steely control, creating razor-sharp portrayals of damaged souls trying to pick up the pieces.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
British author Seskis expertly depicts the new life of a runaway wife, Emily Coleman, in her exciting if not groundbreaking first novel. Leaving all that she knows in Manchester, England, for an uncertain future in present-day London, Emily reclaims her maiden name and becomes Cat Brown. With the help of her new housemate, the uninhibited but motherly Angel, Cat finds not only a new job but also a new persona, and the two party and drink to extremes that Cat would never have dared to try before. Yet at every turn Cat must push away thoughts of the often alluded to but unspecified event that drove her to restart her life. Individual readers will have to decide whether the secret that drives the plot, once it's revealed, is sufficiently shocking. Regardless, as Cat teeters from being nearly indigent to becoming a confident if reckless Londoner, her experiences on her own make for a diverting read.

a compelling roller-coaster of a story with a shocking twist
One Step Too Far is a compelling roller-coaster of a story with a shocking twist that we can practically guarantee you won’t get. One morning Emily Coleman, happily married, beautiful son etc... walks out of her life in Manchester and recreates herself in London. Why? What was she running from? With clever plotting, vivid descriptions and endearingly realistic characters this is a very accomplished debut not to be missed. Reviewed by Lovereading.co.uk
