Thanks so much to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing.
Margaret is struggling with the recent death of her son. She blames herself for his lifelong struggles with alcohol. She then learns that he told her husband that he had a daughter somewhere out there. She is then searching for the granddaughter and so many secrets surface.
This book is told in the present from the viewpoints of Margaret and Ally (the daughter), as well as Kyle in the past. It's really heartbreaking to read Kyle's perspective of all the struggles he was going through and how he would take a step forward and then two steps back. Grief takes so many shapes in the forms of Margaret of what she could have done differently and Ally of the father she barely knew.
I thought the ending was so unnecessary and changed what kind of book this was meant to be.
