Kate Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Synopsis from Amazon: Ethan and Jorie, the perfect couple, have been married for 13 years, and are still very much in love. But 13 years ago, Ethan committed a brutal rape and murder. A young girl's phone call exposes him, and nothing will ever be the same for them again. Well, to be honest, I didn't enjoy this book. I found myself wanting more and this book just didn't satisfy me. The Ethan story was believable, but other strands I found myself disbelieving, such as the journey to Maryland. It was an interesting look at how a family and a small town deal with something like what Ethan did, taking sides in such a matter, but is that what would really happen? I don't know. However, I think Hoffman explores people's characters well. What I wanted out the book was to find out what happened to Ethan and his family, and the family of the girl, but it was a bit ambiguous. There were other storylines running along side the main story, which added depth to the book but I didn't think were finished either. My favourite character was Charlotte. I enjoyed watching her fall in love and stand by her best friend even through the challenges she was facing. There was something lovely about her. Overall, this book did keep my attention right up to the last page, but I was not satisfied with this book. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
