TW: Rape

Ooh! This was a great DEBUT!

“How do you know if you are in love?” Summer asks her neighbor Jules. “If you have to ask the question-YOU’RE NOT”.

Lorrie and Eden were neighbors and best friends who joked that perhaps one day they would become “actual family” instead of “found family” if their kids grew up and married. So, they were thrilled when Lorrie’s son, Knox did start dating Eden’s daughter, Summer.

Thrilled until Knox came home with scratches on his neck-and Summer ended up at the hospital-accusing him of RAPE.

NO means NO.

And, often the BEST of intentions-ends up with the WORST of results.

You may THINK that you have read this story before but trust me-you haven’t.

Caitlin Weaver has penned a story about relatable people who will feel like friends and neighbors you might have- and she will explore how this sexual assault affects everyone in each family from several POV’s while remaining sensitive to the VICTIM.

Lorrie and Eden were once two friends who leaned on one another for everything, but each must now do what they feel is best for their own child, despite what once seemed to be an unbreakable bond between the two women.

And, they will stop at nothing.

As the lines in the sand are drawn, friends and neighbors must decide which TRUTH to believe.

Gripping and thought provoking, this well written novel hooked me from page one-and I will definitely be watching for the author’s next book! It’s always exciting to discover a talented new writer!
