Synopsis from Amazon:
Violet and Finn were “meant to be,” said everyone, always. They ended up together by the hands of fate aligning things just so. Three years into their marriage, they have a wonderful little boy, and as the three of them embark on their first vacation as a family, Violet can’t help thinking that she can’t believe her luck. Life is good. So no one is more surprised than she when Finn leaves her at the beach—just packs up the hotel room and disappears. And takes their son with him. Violet is suddenly in her own worst nightmare, and faced with the knowledge that the man she’s shared her life with, she never really knew at all.
This isn't the entire teaser but it was all I really needed to pick it up. I wasn't disappointed. While the story wasn't an edge of your seat page turner, the author was able to stir my emotions and pull me into the lives of Violet and Finn. I felt complete heartbreak for Violet, maybe because I am a mom myself and couldn't imagine have my children taken from me. I wanted desperately for her to be reunited with Bear. I had mixed feelings about Finn that ranged from anger to pity depending on which part of the story I was reading at the time. For Caitlin, who was Finn's friend and in a good part of the story, I felt mostly irritation. I would have liked her to be smarter and less concerned with herself. For me to invest in the characters in this way, I know that the writer did a bang up job. I didn't need excitement or action to keep reading into the night and there were enough little surprises to keep me guessing about how the story would end and if Violet would find her son.
Did I like how it ended? I'm torn. No spoilers being given away, I think if I were in Violet's position, I would have had a different perspective on my future. However, the story wrapped up nicely and I was glad this was my book choice. Great spring read. :)
