In this novel from a New York Times bestselling author, the search for truth is defined by secrets and lies.Elle is a survivor. She's managed to piece together a solid life from a childhood of broken memories and fairy tales her mom told her to explain away bad dreams. But weekly visits to her mother still fill Elle with a paralyzing fear she can't explain. It's just another of so many unanswered questions she grew up with in a family estranged by silence and secrets.Elle's world turns upside down when she receives a deathbed request from her grandfather, a man she was told had died years ago. Racked by grief, regrets, and a haunted conscience, he has a tale of his own to tell Elle: about her mother, an imaginary friend, and two strangers who came to the house one night and never left.As Elle's past unfolds, so does the truth--if she can believe it. She must face the reasons for her inexplicable dread. As dark as they are, Elle must listen...before her grandfather's death buries the family's secrets forever.

Holy crap this book is good. It paints mental health in a very different light. One I think a lot of people don‘t see. Dissociative personality disorder and Schizophrenia are two very tough mental illnesses and very tough to deal with on a day to day basis. This book is fantastic.

thevictoriousone It‘s always validating when I see other teachers I respect also using TPT 😬. I just won $50 to TPT and that will be money WEEEELLL spent!! 5y

This was as good as a Kate Morton novel. As with Kate Morton, the book switched between the present and the past. It is told from several different perspectives including a child Marie. The story focuses on the secrets of Marie‘s childhood and why she disowned her father.

Clwojick I recently read and enjoyed this. Your review makes me want to FINALLY read one of the Morton‘s that I have on my shelf. 5y
Slajaunie If you liked this book should definitely like Kate Morton. @Clwojick 5y

Mehso-so

I was a little disappointed with this one after all the rave reviews I‘ve seen. It‘s well written but didn‘t grab me. I didn‘t find it particularly credible. Just a so-so book for me.

About 50% through this #arc from #NetGalley, and so far I‘m really enjoying it. I‘m hoping to finish it tomorrow.

I really enjoyed this book. It‘s about a family torn apart by long-held secrets. As the grandfather‘s life is coming to an end, his estranged granddaughter pays him a visit. That visit begins a quest to expose a dark family history. I‘m not sure if I like the ending. It seems to leave an important question unanswered ... but maybe that is the author‘s intention.

A great book to read.
Heavy subject matter of untreated mental illness, lies, secrets, enablers, broken family, broken friendship and deaths.

If you're looking for something unpredictable and keeps you on the edge of your seat, then this is the right book for. Themes surround mental health and family with a strong dose of secrets. I absolutely couldn't put this book down!

Just started listening to the audio book...
So far, so good. It has me VERY interested.

I might not have much time to listen to more for a little while atm as it's school holidays for two weeks.

💥💥💥💥💥 Holmes takes her readers on a journey into one families strange and twisted history. The old saying every family has their skeletons?!? Well, Holmes takes us to an elderly man‘s death bed, are his stories hallucinations or are they spin-chilling truth?!? Once again, Holmes brought me to tears and will remember this one for a long time coming.
