Part time scuba
instructor, wife of a professor, mother to a new born, and step mom to a
teen-ager, Amy is living your standard suburban life, down to the wives\mothers
book club.
The fodder for the
neighborhood gossip, the latest tenant of the AirBnb property down the block
shows up to the book club and inserts herself right in the middle of all the
goings on, challenging the women to play an adapted game of Never Have I Ever.
Unreliable Narrator, meets
twist after turn after lie … holy rollercoaster.
Every time I thought I
saw where the story was heading, there was a plot twist, revelation or flash
back that changed everything. Neither of the main characters were
particularly likeable, but I think that was intended.
The author’s descriptions
in the scuba diving scenes were mesmerizing, her phrasing had both the heavy
and light feeling of being suspended in the warm arms of the sea.
This would be an
amazing book club read.
Thank you to Edelweiss
and the publisher for the e-Arc in exchange for my honest review.
