Hush Little Baby by Suzanne Redfearn
3.0
I was so enamored by In an Instant that I couldn’t wait to jump into another book by Ms. Redfearn. Unfortunately Hush Little Baby wasn’t anywhere near as good.
Jillian Kane is married to seemingly the perfect husband and father, Gordon, and together they have 2 children, Drew and Addie. Gordon presents as a wonderful guy, but behind closed doors is a different story. After 9 years, Jillian realizes the time has come to do something, but it’s not so easy to get away.
I hated Jillian as a character. I had a lot of empathy for her, but seeing her berate herself as a mother repeatedly got old after a while.
While this is a very character driven book, I really didn’t believe some of the motivations of the supporting characters. It made it difficult to connect with said characters.
Ms. Redfearn is phenomenal at creating multidimensional characters and I really wish I had enjoyed this more. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of her work, though, since her characters are so real.
