notesbynnenna 's review for:
The Expats
by Chris Pavone
About- A stay-at-home mom has a secret that she has to hide from everyone in her life, including her husband.
Why I picked it– A friend was reading this for her book club and I was intrigued, so I borrowed it from the library.
Thoughts- This book had a really interesting premise, but it just jumped all over the place. I wanted to love this book, but the disorganization threw me for a loop. Don’t get me wrong, it was interesting, but it was often unclear what time it was or what the setting was in any given chapter. Also, once you figure out the main character’s secret, I wanted a lot more backstory. I always want to understand what drives a character and I didn’t get enough of that here.
