Book: The Friend
Author: Teressa Driscoll
Purchase at: Amazon
Story Gist:
How quickly do we make friends and how often do we end up judging them
too soon? Sophie and Emma are two ladies who connect over their boys of similar
age. What could possibly go wrong? Well, Everything! Sophie and her husband are
away from their home when they get a call about their son being hospitalized
and in need of surgery. One night; that is how long they had left him with Emma
and that is all it took for their entire world to change.
Book Evaluation:
The language is simple and lucid, very easy to
follow. Multiple flashbacks are created in order to create build up the
excitement, which tangles the reader between two different aspects of story.
Although this was much necessary for the story line, the transaction between
the two may have been executed more subtly rather than abrupt. The character
build is bang on target, the blurb tells you what to expect to a certain length
but the actuals are more thrilling. The cover art is in proper sync with the
content, plot and characters. Teresa Driscoll has certainly done a good job in
aligning the story context and will definitely look forward to her next.
