BOOK DESCRIPTION:
The community along Oregon’s Deschutes River is one of successful careers and perfect families. For years, up-and-comers Liz and Owen have admired their good friends and neighbors, Carole and David. They appear to have it all—security, happiness, and a beautiful young son, Charlie.
Then Charlie vanishes without a trace, and all that seemed safe is shattered by a tragedy that is incomprehensible—except to Liz.
It took one fleeting moment for her to change the lives of everyone she loves—a heartrending accident that can’t be undone. Neither can the second-worst mistake of her life: concealing it. As two marriages crack and buckle in grief and fear, Liz retreats into her own dark place of guilt, escalating paranoia—and betrayals even she can’t imagine. Because there’s another good neighbor who has his own secrets, his own pain, and his own reasons for watching Liz’s every move.
And only he knows that the mystery of the missing boy on the Deschutes River is far from over.
MY REVIEW:
‘The Last Thing She Ever Did’ is a tale of the darkness and the light that lives inside humanity. And of how one single decision’s effect ripples through lives, like a stone thrown in a pond.
When little Charlie goes missing, only Liz knows the truth of what happened. The guilt of what she did -- what she knows -- eats her alive as her best friend crumbles in the search for her son.
The men in this story are borderline insufferable. All they care about are themselves -- their needs, their money, their social standing. Even going so far as to endanger other people’s lives to preserve their own.
The women, though, they are very different. Liz, despite what she did, sticks by her friend’s side throughout her whole ordeal. She does things that go against her own conscience to satisfy her husband’s desires. And Carole, Charlie’s mother, does nothing but hope and fight for her son.
The ending of this story is heartbreaking. It’s the perfect portrait of how trauma from our past never really leaves us. It imprints on our hearts, our minds, and our souls, and sometimes, it spoils us from the inside.
