The Imperfects by Amy Meyerson
4.0
I wasn't too interested in the premise of this book, and I think I overlooked it a couple times, then i read the first chapter in Buzz Books and I was hooked.
The book opens with the death of a grandmother, a grandmother who had three loving grandchildren, some more devoted to her than others. When a 137 carat diamond is found among her possessions people come from all around the world to claim it.
Determined to prove they have a legitimate claim to the diamond, and more importantly prove their grandmother is not a thief, the three grandchildren look into their family history, uncovering the dark secrets their grandmother kept from them, and some she may not have known herself.
When I write it all out, it doesn't sound great. But it really is.
This is not only a story about a diamond, in many ways its more so a story about family.
The absentee mother, the dynamic between three siblings who don't seem to have anything in common.
A father who left and the ever present grandmother who picked up the pieces.
