Three Days Grace
Not yet published
Expected 12 May 26On the eve of their trip to South Africa, Lynne and her wife, Susan, await three guests in a Paris Nick, Lynne's distant son; Laslo, Susan's effusive friend; and Marc, a former professor living on borrowed glamour.
What begins as a bon voyage soon becomes a clash of old wounds and fresh resentments. As night falls, long-buried secrets surface, threatening to dismantle the facades each has built.
Through the winding corridors of Paris and the tangled landscapes of memory, five people must confront the truths they've spent decades avoiding. At the heart lies the tragic story of two brothers-one present, one absent-and the lingering trauma that continues to shape their lives.
Set over three days, this unflinching exploration of family, betrayal, and silence asks whether we can ever truly escape our past-and what it takes to finally face the truths we've spent a lifetime running from.

March 13, 2026I'm not going to rate this on Goodreads for now, because this doesn't have any other ratings at this moment and I'm not going to tank the rating just because this wasn't for me.
Three Days Grace is a character study (?) of a young man with a traumatic past, and the people in his life who feel some type of way about said past. For me, the characters were the issue - they didn't come off as believable in their actions in any way. But that might just be me.
The book explores a really heavy theme from several perspectives and tries to make sense of a pretty senseless thing. I felt like the book's strongest suit were the descriptions of the settings, it was really easy to imagine the restaurant, the apartments, the club etc.
I'm glad I read something out of my comfort zone for a change, even if this didn't end up being a new favourite.
Got the early copy of the book from Netgalley.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
This book may not for everyone, but it ended up really working for me. Considering the serious subject matter, it feels odd to say I “enjoyed” it, but I found the author’s storytelling captivating and emotionally resonant. And his writing is - wow!
From the very beginning, I knew I was in for a thrilling journey. To describe the beginning of this book as tense is an understatement. The strained relationship between Nick and his mother intrigued me immediately, and I couldn’t help but be drawn into the unfolding drama. What follows is a dark and tragic storyline that kept me engrossed and eagerly turning the pages.
Warning: This book contains a significant amount of childhood abuse. If that’s a trigger for you, I strongly advise you to avoid reading it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Indigo River Publishing for the advanced copy of this book that releases on May 12, 2026. I put in this request on a whim, and I’m glad I did!

Review of advance copy received from Goodreads Giveaways
The topic of parental abuse and the damage it does to the whole family was well documented in the book. I wish the author had delved deeper into the psyche of each family member. The reader is not privy to any of the characters’ feelings while the abuse is happening, everything is inferred years later.
I cheered for Lynne and Nick as they tried to repair their mother/son relationship after the death of the abuser (dad). I hope that Nick will find love and care in the arms of a lover and that Lynne will be able to forgive herself.
I’d also love to know if the abuser hurt his second family.
