Eliot Beck hasn't seen her family in 3 years. A long weekend at the families vacation home for her brother's wedding is going to push her to revist the past hurts and also confront her mental well-being,
or the fact that she's not functioning as well as she portrays. A very well written novel. It has all the makings of a great novel. It's emotional, complex, and authentic with real and flawed characters. Eliot struggles with an obsessive compulsive disorder, and through her narrative, we see the way the disorder can impact a person's thoughts. And for all these reasons, I give the novel 5 stars. But I didn't enjoy the novel and struggled to finish it. I think Emma Noyes is not the author for me. As I felt the same way about Guy's Girl. It's the being stuck in the main characters head for most of the book that makes it a slow journey, and I get bored. When I'm bored, I'm uninterested in the outcome. But alas.. I think others will absolutely love this novel, especially if you read and enjoyed Guy's Girl.
