While this book doesn't have the most interesting plot ever, I just love Ashley Audrain's writing. It's so easy to pick up and fly through. 

This psychological drama book is about female friendships, relationships, motherhood, desire, jealousy, deception, shame and the whispers we silence. It centers around 4 women: Whitney (a highly successful career woman with 3 kids), Blair (a loving stay at home mom), Rebecca (ER doctor who continuously struggles with miscarriages), and Mara (an elderly woman who is grieving the death of her son with special needs). It starts with a backyard party at Whitney's where she is overheard screaming at her son. Then it fast forwards to 9 months later where her son Xavier falls from his bedroom window and becomes hospitalized and everyone is wondering if that was an accident or if Whitney had something to do with it. 

These women are unlikeable, but honest and real. They've each made decisions that got them to where they are today and they have some regrets based on the whispers/intuiations they had to silence. I liked how it covered different perspectives of motherhood and being a woman, about what it means to sacrifice for your family but also what is means when you put yourself first. This book is sad and makes me never want to have kids. But I loved the ending and the last line where Xavier wakes up from the coma and asks what is going to happen to his mom, when he tells everything.
