It wasn't exactly what I thought I was getting into, but it was intriguing nonetheless! Thanks for your comments.Eva Darrington wrote: ↑05 Oct 2018, 13:57 The exploration of the relationship between a mother and her son, under these tense circumstances, sounds pretty interesting. I feel curious to know what life events would lead to such a thing. Maybe the author will clean up the editing problems. Thanks for the great introduction to this book.

Thanks for your kind words. It was an interesting novel. I likes looking into the characters' psyches.stacie k wrote: ↑05 Oct 2018, 17:17 I like your description of the book as "a psychological excursion into the family unit." I agree that most families exhibit dysfunctionality to some degree. I hope that the one described here is the rare extreme with son pointing a gun at his mother to get her attention. The puzzling out of the characters sounds really interesting. Thanks for this excellent review!

It's difficult to rate a book when literally the only thing wrong is the editing. The concept and execution was good. Still, I hope the author cleans it up.Georgia Lyonhyde wrote: ↑05 Oct 2018, 19:42 This story sounds like it has huge potential and it reminds me a little of We Need to Talk About Kevin even though that was a book about a high school shooting. I am put off by the errors though so I will be keeping an eye out for future reviews to see if the book has been cleaned up. It sounds like it needs a major rewrite to fix the flaws which are quite bad. Personally I think you may have been too generous with your rating but fingers crossed I can find out for myself in the future.

It was still enjoyable nonetheless. Thanks for commenting.Alicia09 wrote: ↑05 Oct 2018, 23:01 This sounds like a painful fictional thriller to read, yet the amount of time the author takes to explain the motivations between the characters seems to make the story relate able. I do agree that the author could have improved their past and present tense when they were speaking about things that were supposed to only be happening now. Thanks for letting me know. If this book is available to review I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!

It has a lot of potential and could be four stars with a good editor.

I think it was a combination of different things coming together. In real life, it's rarely ever one person's fault. Same way with this book. Thanks!
