To make things better, Emily is pregnant again. The family is set to grow bigger soon. This perfect life takes an exciting twist when Emily walks away from her marriage, and all she has known.

Emily moves into a rundown flat and lives with a handful of roommates who look like they are yet to figure out what they want with their lives. So, what would make a woman who looks like she has everything going on for her leave like this? Could this impulsive decision have anything to do with her twin sister?

Caroline is Emily’s twin sister. Unlike Emily, she had always been a problem. She makes enemies wherever she goes, and that doesn’t seem to bother her at all. This is a story of self-discovery. Emily has a secret that she will no share with anyone as well as talents that she never thought she had. While Emily’s secret came with devastating effects on some of the characters, Emily is on a mission to find herself again. After bottling in her traumas for the longest time, she decides to handle them once and for all.

Emily changes her name to Cat and starts her new life away from her family. She gets a job and begins to discover new things about herself. Unfortunately, Cat also picks a drug and shoplifting habit that will later come with dire consequences. Her flat mate Angel is equally messed up, and these two partners in crime are going to be in a lot of trouble at some point.

This story is mostly told from Cat’s point of view. There are other chapters where the reader gets to hear Cat’s story from her father, mother, sister, Ben, and her flat mate Angel. The different points of view give the tale a rounded perspective. Caroline’s perspective springs the reader a different version of the story. The woman who has pissed off so many people in her life finally gets to tell her truth. In the end, you will understand where she is coming from and possibly think that the world is too harsh to her. Caroline also helps bring out some of the vulnerable people she has encountered in her life journey, which goes to show that underneath her crusty exterior, she is a sympathetic person.

One Step Too Far is a solid story of family and tragedy. The book shows just how fragile connections are and the many things that can go wrong at any time. Get to meet Emily and her sister Caroline and see how life pushes these two to take unorthodox measures. The book also touches on other members of the family. The narration is just right, and the unforced twists and turns will keep you glued till you get to the last page.
