Emily Griffin has a new must read for those, like me, who eagerly look forward to her next new story.
Nina is married to a man who was rich and who got much richer in the not too distant past, allowing her and her family to have a life full of good things. That is, until her teenage son commits an act that spreads like wildfire among first his friends, then classmates and keeps spreading until Nina's friends make her aware of the situation. But.. did he really? Kirk, her husband, treats it more as a boys will be boys thing and not a big deal, in fact it's just one more thing his money can get him out of, but not so fast with Nina, who identifies more with Lyla, the girl at the center of the story. What a dilemma, since she wants to believe her son.
It's hard to know who is telling the truth, so the reader really doesn't know what to believe as more facts come to the surface. That not knowing, makes for a book that you want to keep reading due to torn loyalties; in other words a great story.
Thank you NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest opinion.
