We Were Mothers | Katie Sise
15 posts | 24 read | 19 to read
A brilliant, twisty novel about a missing woman, an unfaithful husband, and the dark secrets that will destroy two perfect families. A scandalous revelation is about to devastate a picturesque town where the houses are immaculate and the neighborhoods are tightly knit. Devoted mother Cora O'Connell has found the journal of her friend Laurel's daughter--a beautiful college student who lives next door--revealing an illicit encounter. Hours later, Laurel makes a shattering discovery of her own: her daughter has vanished without a trace. Over the course of one weekend, the crises of two close families are about to trigger a chain reaction that will expose a far more disturbing web of secrets. Now everything is at stake as they're forced to confront the lies they have told in order to survive.

Mehso-so

I gravitated towards the story waiting for it to unfold but as it kept going it fell flat. I was disappointed at the end of the book and continue to feel it was left undone. I still have so many questions unanswered.

The statistics often floated through her mind...:43.9% of women & 23.4% of men who‘d experienced sexual violence...; the 10-14% of women raped during...their marriage; the 14-25% of sexual assaults...; & the one that scared Laurel the most: 18% of women whose children witnessed the sexual assault....the # of Am. women murdered 2001-12 by intimate partners (11,766) was nearly 2x the troops killed in Afghanistan & Iraq... Intimate partner violence.

I absolutely devoured this (once I found the time). It was such a fun read! Secrets and scandals around every corner, along with the reasons as to why. The last sentence of every chapter is another stunner. Great book!! 🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬

An unfaithful man...a missing woman...a weekend of suspense and drama that leaves two families torn apart. There are many characters but it mostly revolves around two neighbors& friends for years. The O'Connells and the Madsens. Cora O'Connell finds a journal written by Laurel Madsens daughter that reveals an illicit encounter with her husband, Sam. Hours later she has disappeared.
Very well crafted entertaining book.

This is definitely not my normal type of read but on occasion I do enjoy a marriage/family type novel. This felt pretty solid, I got a little bored mid way through but the pacing and tension building wasn't too bad and shortly after the action started! #KindleFirstRead
