About this listen

When Tessa arrives at the little house by the lake with her two children, it is an escape. The rental house may be a bit small – but it’s theirs for the summer. A place to hide…

However, their isolation is disrupted by the family from the big house next door. Three children and their glamorous mother Rebecca – who seems determined to invite Tessa into their lives.

Rebecca, however, is harboring a dark secret. And when it becomes too much for her to bear, Tessa seems to be the only person she can turn to.

But as powerful bonds form between the two families, choices will be made that can never be undone. And as the summer comes to an end, nothing can keep everyone safe. And one family will pay the ultimate price…

A gripping, powerful emotional page turner with a heartbreaking twist, for fans of Jodi Picoult, Emily Bleeker and Diane Chamberlain.

Overall OK, but this is a drawn-out story which could have been told quicker.

The story is predictable right until the end when it finally has a twist, but too little too late to make it interesting. It was a Book Club choice, so I finished it, but I'm not sure I would have otherwise.

Reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks

I tried. I really did. I feel like I’ve been reading the same thing for 5 hours though, but somehow, not one thing has happened. DNF at about 50%.

That’s a no

** spoiler alert ** I feel this was a waste of time. The story didn't go anywhere and it wasn't about much... I just felt horrible about the end. I think that she just put that ending there as a filler. I feel horrible that she chose that ending...

Im just so disappointed about the whole thing... :(

it took me forever to listen to this...

so long
