Devoured this in a day.
My first Lucinda Berry novel, won't be my last.
3 best friends have sons who are best friends too and when there's a fatal shooting, their secrets begin to unravel.
A page turner.
The thriller and mystery aspect was meh but this author does such a good job with writing characters and domestic drama
First book by this author, and enjoyed it! Read it all in one day. Though it wasn't particularly super twisty and shocking, it kept me reading. The only drawback was that it kept me confused the first 1/4 of the book keeping track between the different mothers and their families. They all read very similar and couldn't remember who their sons were.
I'm not usually one to rate a book one star. But this book bored me to death. Nothing happened that shocked me after the first few chapters. It just felt like a slog and miscommunication all around. I almost DNF'd it halfway but kept trudging along.
This is my fourth book from Lucinda Berry, and just like her other ones, i thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I was hooked from beginning to end, and i know people are are complaining about the ending being rushed, but this is actually the best ending I've read from her so far lol
As usual, Lucinda Berry is excellent with writing the themes of women struggling with their teenage sons, and this time there was 3 families to keep up with, which was a little bit challenging but it worked. I loved reading the domestic abuse storyline too, I think that was done really well.
Also as per usual, she makes her stories so gut wrenchingly emotional and her characters so easy to relate and sympathise with.
