Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Lucinda Berry - 4 stars!
Jules Hart is driving her son, Gabe, and a neighbor boy, Isaac, home from a basketball game when she swerves to avoid a deer and plunges her car into an icy lake. She is able to rescue only one boy - Isaac. Wracked with guilt, Jules mentally spirals downward. Isaac is also struggling with survivor guilt and then suddenly disappears. His mom, Amber, can't help but think that Jules is somehow responsible. Or is it a serial killer who is targeting teenage boys?
I am a fan of Berry's writings and have thoroughly enjoyed her books. I enjoyed this one as well, except the ending was a bit much. The story is told from the viewpoints of both Jules and Amber - Jules' through conversations with her therapist. This shows both mothers grappling with the aftermath of the accident and the resultant trauma on their families.
