Two men have become friends at college. Turning 50, they still are. And so are their wives and daughters. During a weekend that the two families spend together something happens that changes everything. All of them have to decide what‘s true and what isn‘t and how to go on from here.
An interesting premise but the author needs way too many words to tell the story. That makes it
an okayish read but not a ToB-worthy one.

Hooked_on_books @ChaoticMissAdventures If you plan to read this one, you may want to look at some of the GR reviews that detail what the “something” is that happens. It‘s because of that that I won‘t read this book. 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures @Hooked_on_books oh thank you. I love Storygraph for this. I am with you. Thank you Barbara for taking one for the team. 3w
Chelsea.Poole I have this on audio but maybe I won‘t prioritize it now. Thanks! 3w
BarbaraBB @ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain @Bookwormjillk @Hooked_on_books @Chelsea.Poole I am not on GR anymore. Storygraph has an average of three stars with which I agree. The something that happens is terrible but not as exploited as you might think. It‘s the shifting dynamics afterwards that that make the book dark and interesting. It‘s not bad, really, it might even be worth reading. It is just not good enough to be a TOB book. 3w
sarahbarnes Glad to know your thoughts on this one. I‘ll probably skip it for now. 3w
