Her One Mistake
by Heidi Perks
I didn't see it coming.
Ever since I became a mother, I have found myself drawn to the worst case scenario. The "I can't even imagine" situations. It sounds crazy but I have always been the most fascinated with the things that scare me the most, and books are no exception. I picked up this book because it was about a child going missing. I also picked this book because the child disappears while in the care of the mothers best friend. No matter which side of the tragedy you imagine standing, the sentiment is there, "I can't even imagine." I was drawn in immediately.
To be completely honest, the book started off fairly dull. Like many other fictional dramas it had a way of lending itself to a Lifetime movie. Ya know, basic characters with basic flaws and that hallmark predictability looming. However, it didn't take long for all of my initial suspicions to be blown away.
I didn't see it coming.
This book was much more complex than I had expected. It snuck up on me and once I realized what was happening, my attraction to the book shifted. Now I was hooked for a completely different reason. The controversy is worth of some serious "moms night" book club discussion. It's hard to say much more without giving it all away, but trust me when I tell you it's not about what you thought it was about. Read it. Think about it. Then ask yourself; what would you do?
