Ashley Audrain: The Whispers

But sometimes it's the good people who do the worst things.

If you think that you want a child and/or a relationship, this book might change your mind.

A boy falls out of his window in the middle of the night, and is left hanging between life and death. What really happened? And what's wrong with the lives of the families in a seemingly idyllic neighborhood?

I didn't like the way Ashley Audrain's book The Whispers begins. Suddenly, a large number of people are thrust into the reader's face at once. Yes, the characters become familiar, but the beginning is difficult.

I probably read this book in less than a day. The whole time I was plagued by a heavy feeling, and I had to remind myself that it was because of this book, and not because of my own life. So this is yet another book about the depressing lives of depressing people.

 

I didn't even remember that I had read this author's previous book, The Push, which also deals with dark family drama.
