Such a Good Family by Caitlin Weaver
4.5
challenging emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

First off thank you so much to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this great read! I’ll definitely be looking into more of Caitlin Weavers novels. I read this so fast and couldn’t put it down it kept me intrigued from start to finish. 

This book is so important to read. As someone in my late twenties I know that what has happened in this book is far too common. 

Two moms, neighbors, and best friends have  what they assume will be the best set up that one’s son and the others daughter begins to date. High school and teenage love is thrilling and crazy as it is but when an allegation is made it sheds light on what happens a lot during relationships whether they be young or old. A mother will stop at nothing to protect their child. What happens when your child is accused of doing the unthinkable  to their partner ? Told from alternating points of view find out how one moment can affect two families for the rest of their lives. This book taught an incredible lesson about young love and the power of “no means no”. I would recommend this story to anyone. It is deep and compelling and showed the story we all know too well unfortunately from all sides of the coin.
