Something Good

by Layla Reed

Teetering on the precipice of losing a lucrative career built over two decades, Olivia Banks returns to her hometown for her younger sister’s wedding under the microscope of a camera crew–the condition to her last shot at saving her job. If she’s lucky, the camera will ensure her estranged older sister is on her best behavior. If her luck is anything like it has been, the tattered remains of their tumultuous relationship will crumble to dust.

Face to face with her resentful older sister, now unwillingly thrust under the same microscope, plunges them all into their intertwined unresolved past. A past leading them in the direction of the man who’d come between them–the man still between them, Dr. Ben Crawley. Old jealousies, and new, take hold leaving their sister’s wedding, and their family unit as they know it, hanging in the balance.

Homecoming plummets them all into an unresolved past crowded with the same players, old ghosts, and resurrects the pain of their long-ago love triangle… and the one burning question left unanswered all these years. The one that lies with the man between them. But secrets are fickle. The pursuit of answers to one can unwittingly uncover a mountain more. Intertwined between past and present, the secrets revealed will test the most sacred of bonds where no one will escape untouched.

I loved the family drama in this story. It sometimes could be hectic to read but it flowed in this story. They were hurting and that made it easier to read. Great character development. You either liked them or not. I liked Olivia. She felt genuine and not at all like her sister Tonya made her out to be. I hated Tonya. Even at the end of the story, I didn't like her. She was the selfish one. She blamed all her problems on Olivia but it started long before Ben came into the picture. She had a self conscious that way before that. She didn't like herself. It was too easy to blame someone else. I did like how everything was wrapped up at the end. It had the ending I was thinking it should have. The story kept my attention and I was able to finish it in a few hours. It's a great read. Highly recommended.

real life

This book was full of real life trials and events that happen in todays world. It was so hard to have waited for this family to heal. The forgiveness should teach all of us to be more open with others. Holding grudges is never healthy. As you read this book please realize how important it is to make amends !!!!!!!

Family in crisis

I really got into Olivia's life . I wasn't too accepting of how Tonya treated her but understood Tonya. there was just too much trauma in this family and yet it appears nothing settled for Ben and Olivia .
