In less than three hundred pages, Damoff is able to tell the story of one family who struggles with secrets. Lillian had a child before she was married, but kept it from her husband. Ryan is an addict, but tries to keep that from his wife. And caught in the middle is their daughter, Georgette. Georgette is there to witness the struggles her parents have and is impacted by it.
It's hard to believe that this is Damoff's debut novel. The character development is what made this book perfect. I loved the complexities that made up each of these people that felt real to me.
Without spoilers, there was also one event that I was not prepared for and am still thinking about it now. This could very easily end up on my "Best of 2025" book list.
This would also be a perfect pick for book clubs and anyone who enjoys women's fiction.
