Thank you Netgalley, Atria Books, Atria/Emily Bestler Books and Sarah Vaughan
for free e-ARC in return of my honest review.
Sarah Vaughan is a master of raising awareness of controversial themes in her books. The value of reputation of a female politician versus the value of mother-daughter relationship. The sacrifice women has to take in order to achieve career brilliance. The bullying and the vengeance of the bullied. Who is right and who is wrong? How much is too much? What is women place in the world - career or being a mother? Could it be both? Could it be balanced?
All are questions and no answers in the books. Sarah Vaughan makes the reader think and search for answers in his/her own soul. Because there is no right or wrong, mostly. Everyone chooses for themselves.
At any rate, the plot was intriguing, I did not see some twists and turns coming. At the same time, some parts were drugged on and quite boring, some plot lines were underdeveloped and/or not explored enough. I felt like there were more themes to dig into and go deeper, where author chooses only to lightly brush.
Overall, it is still a good solid book which made me think and question many concepts. Pick it up and think for yourself.
