Welcome to Litsy!

Brundage is so underrated, and I enjoyed this one from her backlist despite my copy missing 30 pages. 😱 A bit too much of the thriller action was left until the third act, but the way she unfurled the darkness lurking below the rich families and private school in the Berkshires was fantastic. There is a dog fighting scene that I just skipped. Those are hard passes for me!

CW for sexual assault, too.

This book was bizarre. It took a lot a it turns. There were some slow parts and really weird parts. Overall, it was okay.

Very suspenseful book with very personable characters. A bit much in the suburban drama department, but the plot made up for it. Was a great read and read very quickly. It follows a few families in this book but really starts off with two heroin addicts who end up having a baby together. The mother very shortly after died of AIDS, and the father manages to get clean and eventually goes to the town where his adoptive child currently lives. 4/5
