3.5 Stars
Stay-at-home mom Frances doesn’t really fit in with the other Seattle private school mothers. To say her son doesn’t either is the understatement of the year. So when the fabulous Kate decides to take Frances under her wing, she’s absolutely delighted . . . . . until the past starts potentially catching up to the present and long-held secrets threaten to be revealed.
Now I’m not saying you need to have a vagina to enjoy this book, but I am saying it probably helps if you’ve been faced with this accusation before . . . . .
I requested this simply for the cover and title. I don’t think many avid readers of mystery/thrillers will be surprised by the reveals contained and there certainly were no moments like this . . . .
Good news is there weren’t a whole lot of moments like these either . . . . .
The three narrators and wibbly-wobbly timeline worked for me and even though there was not a lot of shock and awe in figuring out the goings on, I couldn’t stop turning pages. And really? Give me characters with internal dialogue like this . . . .
“She’d offered him her virginity, and he’d thrown it back in her face like . . . tickets to a Nickelback concert.”
And I’m all like . . . . .
