What's Left Unsaid by Deborah StoneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sasha is a busy mother trying to juggle working from home, raising her teenage son, Zac, and caring for her ailing mother with dementia while her husband is always gone for work. Annie forgets and lets slip a secret to Zac about the brother he never knew he had. As he tries to uncover the truth, other deeper secrets are revealed about Annie's past, her difficult relationship with her daughter, and why Zac's father is always gone.
Throughout the book, I had a really hard time liking Annie. Sure, she had a rough childhood, but that was no excuse for the way she raised her daughter, Sasha. But at the end of the book, everything is explained that made me understand and feel compassion for her character. Zac's father Jeremy was awful though and there's no excuse for what he did to Sasha. I had a hard time getting into this book at first, but the author made the characters so relatable and real that i really wanted to find out their secrets. Thank you to Deborah Stone and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
