I am so glad that I didn't read any reviews or even the summary about this before reading so I didn't have any preconceived notions of what this was about. It's a family drama with some unbelievable and tragic events throughout.
It's told in two POVs--Desi, the mother and her seventeen/eighteen-year-old daughter, Jules. They along with Peter, their husband/father are in North Carolina for the summer. It's a last ditch effort to save Desi and Peter's twenty-year marriage. Peter has been harboring resentment/anger towards his wife for all of that time. It's interesting to find out why.
This is a somewhat predictable story where I guessed how two things would turn out, but I still enjoyed it. I kept turning the pages, because Peter intrigued me. I would have loved to have his point of view.
