This is the kind of book I like to read, one that has me wondering what is around the next bend.
Julien and Victor, brothers, and their father Christopher
suffered a loss of Julien and Victor’s mother. Along comes Emily and Carly –
Emily their stepmother, Carly their stepsister. Seemingly a content blended
family, until they weren’t. For whatever reason, no one believed that Carly was
sick and even all these years later, fifteen to be exact, Carly was still
suffering the remnants of her childhood, not to mention the grief surrounding
the loss of her mother. Carly had been estranged from her stepbrothers when
suddenly they reappeared, but why?
Carly made a good friend in boarding school in the person of
Ava Patel. It was interesting to me how they met in school, but I think all
good friendships get off to a start they weren’t expecting. And, all these
years later, they were still friends. Ava definitely had Carly’s back, no
matter what. I appreciated the friendship between these two.
Rebecca. Poor Rebecca … she was what I would describe as an
ugly duckling, and she certainly had a mean girl streak within her. I think it
more stemmed from jealousy and having a low opinion of herself than anything
else. Poor Ed as well; he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I enjoyed reading about this dysfunctional family and
‘hearing’ different sides of the story – the voices of Julien, Ava, Carly, and
even Rebecca. It was interesting to me to read how each one of these characters
ticked, but that final twist? Those final chapters that brought everything
together … the truth of what was really going on and who was behind it, I
wasn’t expecting that one, though I suppose I should have been. I got part of
the whodunnit it right, but that final piece? Again, I wasn’t expecting that
one.
