Many thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this debut book by Marisa Walz, with the audiobook beautifully narrated by by the wonderful Brittany Pressley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4 stars!
Cady gets the call she never could have imagined; her twin sister, Dana, has been seriously hurt in a car accident. Cady meets another woman in the waiting room who has also had an imaginable loss. Cady soon becomes obsessed with this woman, telling herself that she has such good intentions to help her over her grief.
This is such a wonderful debut, so well-written and multi-layered. It’s a story of grief on so many fronts, from grieving a twin, a daughter, a son, a miscarriage. It’s also about grieving the losses that result from death, such as changes in family, relationships, marriages, and jobs. And about obsession – how easy it is to get too involved to the detriment of all. I liked the way the story spooled out – Cady talking to her twin, Dana, explaining all her actions since Dana’s death. It’s eerie, unnerving and you won’t be able to look away until that surprising end. Will be looking for more from this author!
