I’ve never read anything by this author before, I was drawn to the book via the blurb. The book itself is brilliant, the plot is a great one, but the characters are amazing. There’s a lot of drama and emotion in this book and it’s an awesome read.

This book delves into difficult subjects such as spousal abuse, bullying, unseen disabilities and fighting for sobriety. The actual acts of abuse, bullying and epileptic episodes are not described in gory detail, but rather the aftermaths and consequences are examined in more detail. These subjects are meant to highlight the problems and difficulties faced by Evelyn, her daughter Alyssa, and their new friend Alec. Evelyn is not a woman to be pitied. Yes she has Epilepsy, and yes she has been a victim of abuse. But she had the courage to finally leave her abusive ex and flee as far as they could in order to make a better life for her daughter and herself. She is a fierce Momma Bear, a warrior when it comes to defending her daughter against bullies and the short sighted school faculty who would punish her daughter for punching her taunting bully, but not the bully himself. Alyssa is not at all happy to have left the father who has constantly told her that her mother worked all the time to avoid her. Her mother’s seizures are a source of embarrassment for her, but she knows she can’t prevent them. Alyssa gradually learns the truth of her mother’s devotion, with a little help from Alec.

Alec is a recovering alcoholic who needs to separate himself and his life from former friends and an ex who are more than willing to continue partying and drinking. Evelyn and her troubled daughter capture his attention and his offer of friendship is gradually accepted. He makes a great buffer between mother and daughter, and shows both of them that not all men are manipulative, abusive and controlling. As the threesome grows close, Alec and Evelyn’s exes reappear determined to get retribution and to keep them apart. Read this wonderfully engrossing book to discover how this story unfolds.
