WHEN THE DOOR HAS BEEN SLAMMED SHUT AND THE PERSON WHO means the world—or meant would be more appropriate—leaves us, we are left in the dark. We are left with information we are not sure we want, questions we are not sure whether to ask and feelings we never allowed ourselves to confront once before.
But what do you do? What do you do when this happens? What do you do when you hit rock-bottom after being cheated on squarely and obscured altogether? Being left with so much mess to sort through and a rebellious teenager for a daughter?
Morgan Grant finds herself treading through a mess she’s been left with by her sister and husband following a devastating crash which killed them both. Morgan had to deal with denial as secret after a secret unravels before her, an old tie being reconnected following the demise of her sister and husband, and a teenage daughter who’s yet to know the truth behind her father and aunt’s death.
Colleen Hoover has proven she is unafraid to explore themes for her writings anew. I have come to know Hoover as a master of surprise plot twists and while the book didn’t give me a eureka moment on that department, I am quite astonished at just how marvellous she saw this book together—from when she gave words to how the lengths a mother would go to shield her daughter from the truth which could potentially destroy her, to put a plot on how betrayal looks and feels like.
There was so much writing on how painful marital betrayal looks and feels like in this book, which Hoover was able to hit spot-on. There was so a vulnerability in the way Morgan had to deal with the loss and confronting the truth of the ordeal in which she has not subscribed to. And there was so much rawness in the emotions felt between two generations—Clara and Miller, Morgan and Jonah.
This book oozes so much juice for romance, spice, and garnish to top it all up. You can’t get enough of this 2019 offer as it really works on so many levels.
