Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
I loved Berry’s novel The Perfect Child and was very excited to read this one. It did not disappoint! Three women, all friends, have sons that are also best friends. After what appears to be a horrible accident with a gun, one of their sons is dead, another is in a coma. What happened that night, and was it really an accident?
I really enjoyed this novel. I couldn’t put it down - the writing was good and the plot was interesting. If I had any complaints, it would be that the three women kind of blended together in my head - I had to keep reminding myself which was which and whose son was whose. My patrons will really enjoy this mystery.
This is one of my top favorites! It was absolutely brilliant. Lucinda Berry lays out and weaves such an intricate tale of families, love, hate and secrets. I read this book in one day and cannot get it off my mind! So many soulful lessons here. The characters were so well developed that I felt like I knew them personally. The trials each family tries to survive, the swing from the minutiae of everyday life to those gut wrenching times we all pray we never have to face.
I laughed, got mad, loved and cried in this book. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
Do you really know what is going on in the day to day lives of your teens? You may think you do, but most parents live in a bubble of their delusional ,"don't rock the boat" reality. Three families that are close because of their mothers' friendship endure a tragedy that brings them together as they try to figure out the events of that horrific night. We don't know what really happened because the only teen that can tell us what happened that night cannot speak and suffers from severe trauma. The police and the families dig deeper to try to understand what happened that night and as they dig many secrets are unburied. The secrets revealed involve not only the teens but also the parents.I enjoyed this book so much. The twist at the end was icing on the cake!
