The Things We Wish Were True

Loved this book! The characters were really well developed, and the story grabbed me and I wanted to see what happened next. This was a great choice for book club - there is a lot to discuss! The biggest takeaways for me are that 1. You never truly know what is going on with those around you. You might think you know, but you probably don't. 2. While it may be possible to keep big secrets, it seems to always rob you of something when you do. Truth is messy, but ultimately for the best. 3. Hugging my family close and feeling incredibly grateful.

Gripping Story

I really enjoyed this story of a small community in Sycamore Glen. A community brought closer together due to tragedy, love, secrets and triumphs. The author did an excellent job. I laughed, cried, gasped with/for the characters.

*** Story had many twists that were unexpected. Great read.
