About the Book:
High school sweethearts, Stephanie and Lachlan are torn apart by circumstance, bad decisions and a web of lies,leaving an unknown future for their son, Ryan.
Eight years later they reconnect,but the time apart has changed them. The family had made decisions based on lies and deceit and now must find a way to either reveal the truth or find another option. On the surface their arrangements seemed flawless, but dig deeper, and the people they thought they knew, aren't as they appear.
Lachlan and Stephanie are forced to confront the consequences of their actions and the entire family is compelled to reveal the truth, find forgiveness, and renew loving one another. But the hardest decision is still to come...where does Ryan live?
My Thoughts
There were a lot of family secrets in this book - so many, in fact, that it was hard to keep track of all the lies people had told to each other.
The writing was quite good, but you did have to keep thinking about who was focused on at the time to keep track of everyone's thoughts.
It's not one I plan to read again, but part of that is because there have been so many books coming out in recent times along a similar theme.
