Plan Cee

Well I can say for certain that, once again, Hilary has not disappointed and has created another little masterpiece. I love the way we follow the story through both Cecilia and Keith's perspectives. Hilary writing is very clear and easy to read, which really makes it easy to follow the story, even though you are jumping between the first person perspective of two different characters. I already fell in love with the characters in Plan Bea, yes, even Bea! Hilary has develop really strong characters with lots of depth, so you really feel you can understand them. Each character has their own personality and traits which follow through both novels really well. I love learning about the story between Cecilia and Keith. One thing that this story reminds us is that we should never pre-judge a person or situation. There is always more to a story that what may first meet the eye. Without giving too much away, we found out that Cecelia has misunderstood a situation from her past for many years and this has ended up affecting her dramatically throughout her life. If only Cecelia had known the truth earlier. This story shows us how a few little lies can end up getting in between a number of relationships - friendships, husbands and wives, children. I felt heartbroken for Cecilia's husband Bryce, but at the same time Cecilia's story is written in a way where you sympathise with her situation. Nothing in life is ever black and white, and this story is a clear reminder of that. This story doesn't end on quite the cliffhanger we ended Plan Bea with, but there is still a large curiosity to know what the future holds for the characters. I absolutely loved Plan Cee, just as I expected to. I can't wait to continue reading more about these wonderful characters Hilary has created. Plan Cee is a beautiful story that captures both the destruction that can be caused from lies and secrets, but also the strength of love and friendship.
