(Audio book) A short read at 4 hrs, but WOW the narration…SUPERB! Definitely for fans of We Need to Talk About Kevin and Saving Noah. This is a book about the relationship between a mother and (how well you know your) child.
Single mom Felicia is a volunteer at a suicide prevention hotline and takes a call from a high school girl (Chloe) that has been drugged and sexually assaulted. She happens to go to the same high school as her son, so Felicia is counseling her while trying to piece together the night of the assault with little input from her son….and you know the twist already. This story line was predictable very early in the book, so thats why it’s a solid 3. The ending does have a WOW factor. As a mom, what would you do??
Narration is SPOT ON, it was almost a radio play since there were two narrators (and since it’s a suicide hotline, one of them was on the phone and you could hear the phone static).
