I never wanted to have an empty nest. So when my daughter, Liv, asks if she and her new boyfriend, Jensen, can move in, I’m thrilled.
Jensen is so helpful. He tells me how he loves being part of a close-knit family. He’s felt so alone since his parents died. And for me, his presence goes a little way towards replacing the son I lost.
Still, I can’t help but notice that Liv and Jensen are starting to argue. My daughter seems unhappy. Perhaps they just need some time alone together?
But when my husband and I return from our weekend away, Liv is missing. The relationship with Jensen appears to be over but he doesn’t want to leave. And then I discover exactly what he will do to stay in our family…
Rachel, a mother to the two teens, takes her role seriously. Both girls are old enough to fly the nest, but Rachel isn’t looking forward to it. As the story unfolds, it primarily focuses on Rachel and Jensen. The twists begin early, putting at least one character in danger when some of the twists occur.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! With Rachel’s role as a mother and Jensen’s role as an interloper, such as he is, the story moves at a delightful pace. As as the twists and turns unfold the picture begins to shine through, with perhaps a red herring or two.
How does the past intersect with the present in this book? You’ll be curious about the motives, plans, and execution behind the twists. You won’t be able to put this book down. As always, Jess Ryder effortlessly captures the reader’s attention, draws them into the story, and never lets them go. Even the final twist was delicious.
