George Foss never thought he'd see her again, but on a late-August night
in Boston, there she is, in his local bar, Jack's Tavern.
When George first met her, she was an eighteen-year-old college freshman
from Sweetgum, Florida. She and George became inseparable in their first fall
semester, so George was devastated when he got the news that she had committed
suicide over Christmas break. But, as he stood in the living room of the girl's
grieving parents, he realized the girl in the photo on their mantelpiece - the
one who had committed suicide - was not his girlfriend. Later, he discovered
the true identity of the girl he had loved - and of the things she may have
done to escape her past.
Now, twenty years later, she's back, and she's telling George that he's
the only one who can help her . . .
I
like the writing style of this book, it sort of poetic. The book does switch
between the now and when George first met Liana. The format works for the suspense.
George
is not very likable character. Certain parts of the novel you do feel sort of
sorry for him but I don’t think I would actually be best buds with him. He’s in
his 40s, he single and works for a slowly failing business: so not a lot to
lose when Liana shows back up. The other characters are alright. The motives
are bit mystery; there are meant to be that way. George is surrounded by
strongish woman; his life is mostly influenced by woman during the book. Females
do sort of play big part of the story. However, there something about the portrayal
of the woman that bugs me. It not like I can define the thing that’s on the tip
of my tongue. Maybe it the fact that none of the woman actually talk to each
other in the book.
Overall, I
gave this book 4 out of 5 stars for descriptive nipples. I enjoyed reading it.
I’m finding it hard to find hings to say that wouldn’t be a spoiler. There
lot of things this book for people to enjoy. The ending does leave with
some questions, not clear answer to what went down fully.
