I am on a roll this week.
This book review will be the 2nd book I had read in one
week. I had actually completed this book
in 3 days. I did not want to put it
down.
Cross Her Heart: A
Novel by Sarah Pinborough
I had chosen this book for my Book of the Month and returned to reading a mystery/suspense
book. It was certainly a page turner.
Told from the perspective of three women, Cross Her Heart is all about connecting
to other females. Lisa is a very quiet,
nearly forty, single mother, who is very private with her past and focused on
raising her sixteen year old daughter, Ava.
Her best friend, Marilyn, wants her to break out of her quiet shell and
not have her life be consumed by Ava. While
Ava loves her mother, she is tired of being overprotected and wants live like a
normal teenager. She meets someone
online, who builds her confidence and begins to fall them. Similar to Lisa, Marilyn has some elements of
her life that she wants to keep private, but she would like see her best friend
break out of her shell. When Lisa is
finally able to break down the walls she has built, small parts of her past
begin to come back. In order to protect
the life she has built, Lisa must face her fears and rely on the only person
she can trust—Marilyn.
Cross Her Heart is
filled with many twists and turns that I stayed up late wanting to finish the
book. This is certainly a heart breaking
story and you are rooting for these women to overcome their obstacles.
If you have any recommendations for thrilling books, please
feel free to share.
