Review - Twenty-Seven Minutes by Ashley Tate

Writer's picture: HalesHales

It takes one moment to call for help. So why did he wait?

'The rare gift that delivers it all . . . A must-read debut' Ashley Audrain, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Push


THE QUESTION For the last ten years, the small town of West Wilmer has been struggling to answer one question: On the night of the car accident that killed his sister, why did it take Grant Dean twenty-seven minutes to call for help? If he'd called sooner, Phoebe might still be alive. THE SECRET As the anniversary of Phoebe's death approaches, Grant is consumed by his memories and the secret that's been suffocating him for years. But he and Phoebe weren't the only ones in the car that night. Becca was there too - she's the only other person who knows what really happened. Or is she? THE TRUTH Everyone in West Wilmer remembers Phoebe, but only June remembers that another person was lost that night. Her brother Wyatt has been missing for ten years and, now that her mother is dead, June has no one left - no family, no friends. Until someone appears at her door. Someone who may know where Wyatt went all those years ago. Someone who knows what really happened on the bridge that night. Someone who is ready to tell the truth.




What a debut!!


And what a storyline! We knew that the 27 minutes made a difference but seeing the story unfold as to what actually happened in those 27 minutes was brilliant.


I liked that fact the the storyline was centred around 2 different families who 'lost' people on the same night, with one of those taking priority over anyone else in town, even their own brother.


Really well written and I had no clue what had really happened until it was revealed in the book. I was literally like - woah - that makes sense now!


This is not out until the 1st of Feb 2024 but I highly recommend pre-ordering your copy now
