pickThis is a very hard read about a mother who‘s teenage son is pedophile. I am not sure why I purchased this book and the writing isn‘t very good but the story is heartbreaking and feels very true. It reads like non fiction and that‘s hard to read.
pickWhat a difficult novel to read. It‘s full of terrible, awful and triggering events. As a mother and a survivor of abuse this novel broke my heart🙁 Rehab is helpful in but doesn‘t work for everyone. Life can be hard. Lucinda Berry is quite an author. Please use caution and awareness as you pick up this book. Rating this book is hard. 4/5
I almost didn't finish it. The triggers were almost too much.
Did I like the book? I guess so, I kept reading because I needed to know how it ended.
I skimmed a lot and about the last 40% of the book made me super uncomfortable.
I am left feeling uncomfortable and sad after finishing this book. It is not one I would recommend to people.
pickThis story is powerful. So many emotions! I did the audio version, and found parts of it bizarre. The subject matter was very dark, and I didn‘t always find this reflected in the narrators voice. The things this family (especially the mother) had to deal with were mind blowing. My heart went out to almost all of the characters. Warning -There are many triggers in this book, so it‘s not for everyone.
pickCharacters were believable, even though some of them weren't really likable. It was easy to understand why they acted like they did.
I was a bit confused the big part of the book: I was wondering what was this everything really about. I mean this was tagged as thriller and I was just wondering when something “thrilling“ starts to happen. Last chapters surprised me.
This was a bit depressing to read, I felt for Noah.
panNoah is the all American boy. Perfect in everyway, at least that's what his parents think. They have the perfect family, and then Noah confesses. What he confesses to will tear their family apart.
A don't think this book was proofread very good. There were a lot of sentences that were missing a word. Very irritating to me. There are a lot of heavy topics in this book. Some disgusted me. I thought about DNFing it a couple of times, but ⬇️
Noah being charged as a sex offender sucker punched our entire suburban community.

pickThis book was just so hard. I really can‘t express the feelings I had from this one. The author took a subject that most people would never dream would be relatable and made the reader feel so many things about the characters. Great writing and extremely hard subject matter. Read the trigger warnings before diving into this one.
pickShort but very heartbreaking, thoughtful, intense, emotional, and infuriating read. I definitely need a follow up about about Katie. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pan🌟booo! Awful book! I‘m. It here for delusional moms who refuse to see her kid for what he is! She even so much as almost blames the little girls. Also, who throws a dinner party to tell parents their daughters were molested by their son and think it‘s all@gonna be ok. Ugh
so-soYeah this one was pretty dark. I don‘t know how to feel about it other than emotionally drained.

honestly… idk how i felt about this book. through most of it, I was honestly disgusted. It was about a mom trying to get back a life with her son after he m*lests two girls & goes to rehabilitation for it. I‘m still at a loss ablut how I feel. I cried at the end… I couldn‘t help it…. I may be too soft

pickLucinda Berry has become one of my favorite authors! This one was hard to read emotionally-I can‘t imagine being in Noah‘s moms situation and deciding how to best help her son.
pickWhew. This book was something. Good read. Not for the faint of heart.
