Rachel Whalen and Ariel
Alexander have been friends for more than a decade. Despite their
differences--down-to-earth Rachel owns a local hair salon; Ariel is a
vivacious former TV star determined to hold on to her looks--they've
helped each other navigate single motherhood, banding together against
the soccer moms of Timbergrove, Oregon.
Yet lately, Rachel
wonders about Ariel's increasingly erratic parenting and her clandestine
love life. And Rachel can't reveal to anyone, even Ariel, how much she
worries about her sullen, distant, younger son. When an unthinkable
tragedy separates the two families, Rachel desperately tries to
understand what went wrong. But as her assumptions are ripped away one
by one, she must confront shattering revelations about the people she
trusted and the suburban world that once seemed so safe.
Review: I was given an ARC of Domestic Secrets for an honest review and this is my review.I
had mixed feelings about this book and I really was not sure how I
wanted to rate it. The book was very good but the characters really made
me annoyed because Ariel was a self centered witch who should not been
allowed to have or be near children and Rachel was a mother that tried
too dang hard she missed everything in front of her because she was too
busy trying to make everything perfect for her kids.
I can't get into
the plot for spoiler reasons but this book really looks into what
happens behind closed doors and what can go wrong in a heartbeat if
things are being covered up.
I am giving Domestic Secrets four out of five stars even if I really wanted to slap some sense into both Ariel and Rachel.
