Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and Emily Giffin for the opportunity to read her latest book - 5 stars! I've always enjoyed Giffin's books before but this one takes a turn towards the more serious side of core values, class issues, and social media - very current in this #metoo climate.
Nina is living large in Nashville - she married Kirk who sold his tech company and is now uber-wealthy. They enjoy galas, philanthropy, and want for nothing. As does their son, Finch, a senior at Windsor, in an elite private high school, driving his own Mercedes SUV, and headed for Princeton. However, one night causes her to change her views on her world and those in it.
Tom is living on the other side of the river in Nashville, a single dad raising Lyla alone after her mother took off. A carpenter who makes extra money driving for Uber, Tom is thrilled with Lyla gets an academic scholarship to attend Windsor.
One drunken night and photograph from a party changes all their worlds. What would we do for our children? Are we teaching them the right things?
Great story - this would be a great book club selection especially for those raising teenagers. Highly recommended!
