After spending a year grieving the death of her daughter Mary, Jane is planning to reclaim her life. But her family has changed in that year, and Jane has not been keeping up with the changes, and as the date for Mary's memorial approaches, it seems that someone knows more about Mary's death than they previously revealed.
Told in the style of the unreliable narrator (and often breaking the fourth wall) Jane isn't exactly a character you can sympathize with. She is narcissistic, manipulative, and controlling. In fact, none of the main characters are likable or easy to sympathize with. In most books, that would be a reason to dislike the book, but that is not the case with this book. Really, these are characters you love to hate!
While there were no earth-shattering plot twists, the story was not without spins and misdirection. Most importantly, despicable characters and all, it was engaging.
Narration was provided by Kathleen McInerney and was performed well. Clear with a pleasant tone and cadence, and just a hint of deviousness that suited the character of Jane so well.
Loving to hate Jane and the other characters in this book was a bit of a guilty pleasure! I look forward to reading more of Kaira Rouda's work in the future.
