Even though the subject was completely heartbreaking and terrible to think about I found it intriguing and hard to put down. We have three teenage boys who appear to be the best of friends, and then this tragedy happens, and suddenly secrets come to light. Each set of parents starts to wonder if they actually knew the boys as well as they thought they did. If that wasn't enough we also have the three moms who have been best friends and this event begins to strain their friendship in a variety of ways. I think the book did a marvelous job of showcasing the way each woman experienced grief from the accident. It also does an amazing job of showing the way that impacts their friendship, marriage and relationship with their other children.

I loved the way the book slowly gave us information about the events leading up to the accident. We also start to see other secrets in each of the families come to life. I think one thing that was done well was how the author showed that even though these women had been friends for a long time they didn't know each other as well as they thought. Each twist in the story really made me more eager to learn what happened that night. I have to admit that I didn't see the ending coming. I think it was an interesting choice and really fit the theme of the novel well. I just wish we had less characters to keep track of and that it had been a little more intense. ( )

Thank you NetGalley for the book.
Kendra, Dani and Lindsey have been best friends since they were girls and are now married and with families of their own. Their teenage sons are best friends and all three families live in the same neighborhood and the boys attend the same private school. Then, one night their lives are completely shattered after a horrific event takes place leaving one son dead, one in a vegetative state and one unwilling and unable to talk about what happened that night.
As each mother tries to figure out what happened they night, other secrets bubble up and they each begin to wonder if they really know their friends and their spouses.
The story alternates between Kendra, Dani and Lindsey telling their stories. At times, it was a bit confusing trying to keep all of the characters straight especially since each of the 3 women were so very similar. ( )

From the first few pages, you are drawn into this story of three childhood friends and their current day lives - which you find out includes secrets they don't share outside their own families. With the mystery, throughout the book I thought I knew what had happened and in the final pages, all that was dashed. I would have liked to know a little more about the relationship between Lindsey, Dani, and Kendra at the end of the book. Overall a wonderful, quick read. ( )

the plot line was one I haven’t seen yet, and it was the reason I started reading the book. I love it when books have different characters perspectives and everything slowly pieces together each chapter ( )

So so

It was somewhat interesting, at least enough to finish reading. I could predict a lot of it, but didn't expect what was in the epilogue. It didn't go anywhere and felt pointless. ( )
