PROMPT: BOOTS

From New York City to Tennessee?

Was Cassie making the right move?  

She thought so, but meeting family members she hadn't seen since she was three was frightening as well as disillusioning.

A read you won't want to stop reading once you get going.

This story is about family secrets...deep, dark and full of lies. The author weaved a suspenseful tale that kept me turning pages. P. 297 “There‘s a way people have of living with lies when the truth is too painful to confront.” P. 365 “...sometimes the healing is not in the forgetting but in the letting go.”

#AugustGrrrl #Waterfalls Catching up from yesterday. I couldn't think of a specific book featuring waterfalls on my shelves so I went with books from my #TBR and read stacks with 'water' and 'fall' in the titles. Stacked together in the pic, they make three book 'waterfalls.' 😆👍OK, close enough! 🤣

On the deliberate side, but well-written. Enjoyed the premise. Clyde was my favorite character.

This is Kline's first novel. I picked this up, because I wanted to read something else by her after reading Orphan Train. This book was interesting, but I didn't like it as much as Orphan Train. I almost went with a "so-so" rating, but it did pull me in and I wanted to understand the grandmother. The epigraph tells you a lot about the story.
This is #LetterK for my #womenauthors #LitsyAtoZ challenge.

MMFinck I'm about 10-15% in and Cassie isn't even in TN yet. Everything that's happened or been observed by Cassie could've been done in mere pages or even backstory. Does it pick up speed? Like you, the grandmother is what's keeping me going. 8y
Karenlovesbooks @MMF I'm not sure it ever "picks up speed". The last half was better, as I recall. 8y
MMFinck Thanks! 8y
