Some people love goodbyes...
23-year-old Catherine is mainly interested in Facebook and flirting, but she reluctantly takes a job at a local care home after her mother puts her foot down - and soon discovers that her new workplace
contains many secrets.
One of the residents at the home, 82-year-old Rose, is convinced that something sinister is going on in Room 7 and that her own life is under threat. But Rose has dementia - so what does she actually know, and who would believe her anyway?
As Catherine starts investigating Rose's allegations, terrible revelations surface about everyone involved. Can Catherine find out what's really going on before it's too late?

I'm not to sure how to rate this book... It was very strange in places... Told mainly from 2 points of view... Catherine a 23 year old and then Rose an 80 odd year old writer of children's books... Rose has dementia and is in a care home where Catherine works but when it flicked to Roses turn to be giving her say in the chapters she would flit from age 10 back to 83 without warning due to her dementia and it took me a while to get used to it but on the whole fairly easy to follow and a short read... Very comical in places... Had a very unexpected ending which I won't spoil... From me it's a 3 star 🌟🌟🌟🤗👍 Would be very curious to find out what others think..??.. 😉
