Set aside time to binge-read! You won’t be able to settle to do anything until you find out the truth behind Emma and Noah Havern’s relationship.

I'm so glad I’ve discovered this author as I’m always able to connect with her stories and am assured of a journey filled with emotions as I become invested in the lives of her masterfully crafted characters.

This is the fourth book of Weisner’s I’ve read and I’ve noted each time how capably she’s able to convey the mood of a story. It’s like I’ve been kidnapped and dropped into the scene; I feel like I’m experiencing the story alongside the characters. I don’t have children, but Weisner was able to put me in Emma’s shoes so that I could feel her desperation and anxiety over wondering how much of her marriage was a lie. I couldn’t go to bed without finding out the truth!

There’s no doubt the author’s career in film school and counselling added to the success of this book. Weisner continues to slowly peel back the layers of her characters, all their troubled pasts, fears and insecurities and shows us the real people beneath. A story is so much more enjoyable when I can empathize with the characters.

I love the approach Weisner brings to storytelling. She writes heartbreaking stories yet focuses on the resilience of people overcoming adversity. Her characters always find themselves in tough situations, buried under a pile of secrets, but they find a way towards light and redemption. It’s amazing how she can write a story that’s so emotionally compelling yet still remains uplifting! Her message about the healing power of love and family will make this a read you’ll remember for quite some time.

Reading this intense, family drama is definitely an experience that will fill you with anticipation, fear, hope, love, and heartache. It’s one of Weisner’s best and it needs to be on your reading list.
