karenika 's review for:

The Second Home by Christina Clancy
4.0

This story was exactly what i thought it was going to be: a layered story about family and the complexities of growing up. It was interesting how many times the parents were lauded to be the "perfect" parents and yet the kids each turned out to be broken in different ways. There are some really serious topics explored in this story so it's not "light" reading in my opinion but it's one of those books that I enjoyed reading. I've never been to Cape Cod but I loved the way the book brought it to life.
