Lindsey, Kendra, and Dani have been best friends since they were young girls. They live in the same town, and now their teenage sons are best friends too. When tragedy strikes leaving one son dead, one in a coma, and the other so traumatized he can’t speak; this will test the strength of their friendship. How can these ladies remain the best of friends when they don’t even know what happened to their sons?

This was my first book from Lucinda Berry, and it was a heavy read. The chapters alternate between Lindsey, Kendra, and Dani’s perspectives. I liked how the author did this since we see what’s going on and how it affects each one differently. She also included how the tragedy affects their immediate families which makes sense in this sort of book.

There is a bit of a mystery involved in finding out what happened that lead to the awful events that night, but I would not classify this book as a mystery. It’s really about coping with a tragedy and how each person handles if differently. This was a very emotional read, but very worth it.

The author did elude to something that happened to Lindsey, Kendra, and Dani when they were teenagers, something they never spoke of, but didn’t ever reveal what that was. For that reason I had to rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
