The Night at the Pool
Amani Brooks built a life people admired.
Online, her family looked warm, polished, and picture-perfect. But behind the camera, the pressure of always being watched is pulling them apart.
Kevin wants his wife back. Brianna is tired of being turned into content. And Jamal has learned one dangerous lesson: if people are laughing, keep recording.
Then a poolside prank goes terribly wrong.
A teenage boy is injured. Rumors spread. Video clips circulate. And the Brooks family’s carefully built image is no longer theirs to control.
As blame spreads between two families, Amani is forced to face the question she has been avoiding:
Was she so busy recording her family that she missed what was happening inside it?

This was a very fast read, because there were hardly any paragraphs. It was mainly just lines of dialogue throughout the entire book. The author did not really take the time to set a scene or develop the characters or plot. The characters just talked.
The inciting incident was rather dull, but also believable, so there is that. I liked the message about the downside of social media, putting on “fake” personas for clicks;it’s definitely an important message. Too bad the story wasn’t done better.

I really enjoyed this book… It’s very eye-opening as a parent and will inspire conversation between my kids and me. It makes you think about your behaviors and their consequences.
