Amazon Publishing The Best of Friends

Lucinda has been a recent find of mine, and I’m very intrigued by her storytelling skills. She writes heartbreaking stories with very relatable characters and realistic plot lines. This story was truly heart wrenching at its core, and frankly a little tough to get through all the way to the end (sign of a good writer). There are a LOT of characters in this book, and sometimes I got them jumbled with how fast paced the chapters read. I also had the ending pegged from about 1/3 of the way in…but I’ve got a degree in criminal behavior and advanced crime analysis- so it’s not too surprising if I’m being honest haha. I have more of Lucinda’s work in my TBR pile and I’m excited to dig in.

Three friends. Three sons. Two Shots. One tragedy.Wow! This story hit close to home for so many reasons. I actually had to put it down for a couple days because I have three sons (16,17, and 18) and one got in a car accident and it was just too much. But I picked it up when my head was in a better place and I finished it. I love the drama aspect of the book along with trying to figure out wth happened.I related to a character or two in the book but, sadly, they didn’t seem to develop past that. I usually can remember characters and who is with who but it just didn’t happen here. Trying to remember who’s kid is who’s was a lot harder then I had hoped. Also, they kept referring to the night they don’t talk about and it killed me we never got to hear what that was.I love multiple POV’s. That’s my jam and this book did not disappoint. Though I just felt like something was missing. It was a good story and the secrets that came out gave some good drama.I have heard so many good things about this author so I had to try her out. This book was good. Maybe I expected a little more but I finished it. I have other books to read by this author and though this one wasn’t perfection I have high hopes for the others.

This is the first book I have read by this author who is also a Child Trauma psychologist and was a page turner you couldn’t put down until you finished the book :)

Read alllll the boooooks

The book itself is a wonderful read, plenty to keep you on your toes! The book is actually the second copy I received as a replacement for the first one that had the exact same issue on the same page.
