Best friends, Mothers, Secrets, Lies, Teenagers, Heartbreak, Tragedy, and Tears….
Three women who have been friends for an awfully long time have their worlds shattered when a tragic accident leaves one of their children dead, another in a coma, and one unable to speak due to trauma.
How do you go on, how do you find the answers, how do you move forward?
Reeling from that devastating night, each woman is faced with challenges not only withing themselves, in their marriages and in learning that no matter how well you think you know your children, there are just some things they manage to keep a secret. As a police officer investigates the tragedy, the reader becomes the proverbial fly on the wall, watching as each woman’s world is altered forever.
She sucked me in with this one and initially I had a hard time keeping track of who was who until the women’s characters were more fleshed out. I was not too shocked at one part of the reveal, I saw that coming but the reveal in the epilogue was a bit of a shocker for me!
Overall, once I got going, I found this to be a fast and absorbing read. This is an emotional one folks, so be warned. It is also thought provoking. There are a lot of characters that feel the same in the beginning, so if you get frustrated by this, my advice is to hang in there as they do become fleshed out.
**This may have some triggers for some.
