My Rating (out of 5)

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you to HarperCollins Canada and Edelweiss+ for this advance copy in exchange for an honest review. 

A compelling thriller, easier to pick up than to put down.

Lisa is a single mom with a dark past. She keeps her secrets and lives a low profile lifestyle. Lately she has dared to consider the possibility of love and romance with her charming client.

But little things from the past have been creeping into her life and shaking her to the core. When her daughter saves a young boy from drowning and becomes a hero, the resulting media attention sets their world spinning in in a deadly spiral. The only way to save them both, is to face her deadly broken promise from the past.

I really enjoyed the characters. They were believable and as such, their interactions were believable. All of them seemed to have secrets. Lisa, trying to make her way through life, not making waves, keeping her dark secrets, fiercely protective of her daughter. Ava, the angst filled teenage daughter, who, like all teens, has her own secrets. Marilyn, Lisa's best friend, who is quietly dealing with her own problems, thinking that silence is strength, but learning that sometimes we all need help.

With a September date for Canadian release, I can see this book with readers curling up with their favorite hot beverages as we head into the cooler days of autumn. 

Happy Reading,

Christine
