Gripping, absorbing and clever! Her First Child was like a roller coaster ride on the way to the truth! Ever read a book where you KNOW what is going to happen. You have it ALL figured out. I mean you could see the REVEAL coming from a mile away, and then, the author brings out multiple twists and reveals which leave you reeling and knowing you didn’t as much as you thought you did! That was this book!
Eve and her husband, Dom are proud parents to their baby, Kai. Eve is very protective of him and vows she will not be the mother to him that her mother was to her. Eve grew up tiptoeing around the anger, abuse and heavy mood in her home. The only solace she had was her best friend, Chloe. Eve is so happy that her son is growing up in a home with love. But then her mother, Lydia called with bad news and things take a turn. When Lydia arrives, Eve is reminded of her horrific childhood and is fearful for her son. Dom can’t understand why Eve is acting strangely and it is soon obvious that she has been keeping secrets from him and is concerned about what her mother might tell him.
Secrets flow through this book like water. There are secrets and then there are family secrets! A not-so-happy mother child reunion proves to be the catalyst for change….
This book is told through the POV’s of Eve, Chloe and Lydia. Each provides insight into the present and the past in dual timelines. This really worked for me and soon, I found that there was more going on with the characters in this book than originally met the eye. The characters are not the most likeable lot, yet they are all incredibly interesting. As I mentioned earlier, I thought I had things figured out and found quickly that I was shocked and fooled.
Another shocking, gripping, entertaining, hard to put down, page turner from Sheryl Browne! She kept me on my toes and wanting to know more.!
