Six Weeks to Live by Catherine McKenzie

3.0

Jennifer goes to her doctor regarding symptoms she is sure is due from growing older. However, the doctor tells her she has a brain tumor with only 6 weeks to live.

While reading the paperwork from the doctor Jennifer notices an alarming test result, the result causes Jennifer to think someone in her life has been poisoning her. Jennifer, automatically assumes it is her estrange husband who was harassing her for a divorce.

Six Weeks to Live is told from the POV of Jennifer and her triplet daughters who are 25. Together they try to determine who poisoned Jennifer and during the journey, secrets from the past surface.

The characters are very hard to like but I wonder if that is by design to cause the reader to wonder if they could poison a person. Overall, the book was enjoyable and had me reading to see if who was poisoning Jennifer was uncovered. There seemed to be a lot of subplots that were quickly wrapped up.

Edited to add: Kudos for bringing up Flint and the water crisis. I’m from the area and residents are still struggling to get safe water.

Thanks Netgalley and Atria books for an ARC of Six Weeks to Live for an honest review.
