I thought this story was well written, especially with alternating chapters that only give away a little of the story at a time. I like how Emma bought her country home as a retreat for her artist friends. Even though she fell in love with the wrong man, she was still determined to stay close to him and accept as much as he could give. And I especially loved Laura's character, fighting for her grandmother, refusing to take a handout even if it meant giving up what she loved most. It was an entertaining and intriguing read. I received an advance reader copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.

The Things We Don't Say by Ella Carey
Sixty years ago, Emma Temple had a complicated relationship with renowned artist Patrick Adams. Although he never painted portraits of anyone he was close to, he made an exception for her. Now in the 80s her portrait, called The Things We Don't Say, has become his most famous work. But when an appraiser claims that the painting is a fraud, Emma must rely on her faulty memories to save everything she cares about. Her granddaughter, Laura, had used the painting as collateral against her tuition to a prestigious music academy and now her future is in jeopardy.
