This story is split into four sections, each with a different point of view, written in a distinct and unique way from the others.
Each narrator is unreliable in their own way, leaving the reader slightly unsure of the exact details of what transpired; an inspired literary device for this particular story.
The themes of this novel are betrayal, forgiveness, second chances, the meaning of romantic and familial love, redemption, domestic partnership, and parenthood.
The first part of this book is written from the female main character's point of view. This section was a tad slow, and the character was a bit grating and unlikable, despite some aspects suggesting she should be a sympathetic character.
This was also the only section that was not "written by" the character whose point of view is being shared in the narrative.
Once this section was over, the story picked up pace and became much more interesting.
As the tale unfolds again from the perspective of a second and third character's point of view, one told in memoir style, the next in screenplay, more depth is added to both the story and the characters.
The ending goes back to a slower pace, in essay format, from the perspective of a fourth character. It wrapped up the theme about the imperfect nature of families and parents. However, it was a bit slow after such a fast-paced and exciting "third act".
I enjoyed the writing style immensely, and the story was interesting, and the twists were well-placed and well-executed.
Thank you to the author for sending me the advance review copy - I look forward to continuing to read your work for years to come. Sara Sykora81 3
