Little Disasters by Sarah Vaughan
4.0
Are you capable of hurting your child? How about your good friends? Are they? If you knew, or even suspected, that a friend's child was being abused, what would you do? These questions, which are at the heart of LITTLE DISASTERS, are not as black-and-white as they seem. As the novel points out, they can be very difficult to answer sometimes.
Although I wouldn't really call LITTLE DISASTERS a page-turner, I did find it compelling and engrossing. The characters are complex and mostly sympathetic. I felt for them all, even the ones I didn't like all that much. Although the plot was fairly predictable, I actually did not see the final reveal coming, which is a good thing since I read so many of these kinds of novels. In the end, then, I quite liked LITTLE DISASTERS and will definitely look for more from this author.
