Watching You Without Me by Lynn Coady
4.0


Such a story. Karen returns to her family home after the passing of her mother to care for her sister Kelli, who was born with a developmental disability. Karen hasn't been regularly in Kelli's life in years, so when she meets Trevor, a man who has insinuated himself into their home, Trevor doesn't know what to believe or who to trust.

It's the first time that I can recall reading a book with this premise, including adults as caregivers. I was drawn to the relationship with the sisters and Karen's journey with grief. I appreciated the mystery element as Karen gleamed more and more information about Trevor. This is what kept me turning the pages as I wanted to know his history.

I enjoyed the writing style and this book was good. But it also isn't much more memorable to me than that and it's only been a few weeks since I read it.
