Off the Deep End

Talk about an apt title!

Former therapist Jules Hart crashes her car in an icy lake. She reaches out to save her son but instead saves her son’s friend. Reeling from her son’s death, Jules has a decline in her mental state. She is not acting like herself and is engaging in unhealthy and inappropriate behaviors.

Isaac Greer is the young man that Jules saved from the icy crash. Isaac goes missing and Jules finds herself at the heart of the investigation. Jules states she did not take Isaac. Where is he?

Needless to say, I was not giggling while I read this book. The entire time I was reading, I had a strong sense of Déjà vu. This book reminded me of another book I had read where one mother’s son dies and another’s survives the car going into the water and one mom having a ‘relationship’ with a teen.

I normally enjoy Lucinda Berry books but this one fell flat as a pancake for me. I am normally invested in her characters and their plight. I like the insight she provides in her books. But this one just didn’t work for me. Others are enjoying this book more than I did, so please seek out their reviews and decide if this is the book for you.
