Back Of Bo0k

There is a reason fairy tales end when they do … because happily ever after is just the beginning of real life.

Once upon a time in the quaint, forgotten coastal town of Joyce, Washington Emmy Burns existed in the middle of an inconsequential life that resembled a small-town fairy tale; days filled with caring for her daughter Avery, running her small but thriving pottery store, married to the only man she had ever loved. But all of that changed when the fog rolled out one beautiful morning, leaving emptiness where Emmy had stood only the day before. She had seemingly and without a sound vanished into the thick misty air of the Pacific Northwest, taking with her a lifetime of secrets.

In the aftermath Stephen Burns is content telling the police his wife must have simply chosen to walk away from him and their daughter. But Sidney Ruth, Emmy’s closest friend, knows the truth. Sidney is the one person who had watched as the vines grew around the dark forest that was the Burn’s marriage, trapping Emmy inside and leaving everyone who loved her out.

Years of abuse has to lead to this moment. As the days unfurl so do the secrets Emmy kept walled away, leaving the people of Joyce wondering: What really happened to Emmy Burns in her happily ever after?

My Review

Once again I am not sure where to even start with this book. I loved this book and I am not sure how to even put into words how I feel about it. Her writing right from the start grabs my attention and I can’t put the book down until I am finished with the book. The first thing I will say about this book is that at first it reminded me of the Susan Powell case. If you aren’t from Utah you may not have heard about this case but that is what I thought this book was going to be like but it didn’t end that way. I am still in shock how it ended and I think it would shock just about anyone. Her characters always seems to be like people I would get along with if they were alive. She did a great job of explaining everything and why the characters did what they did in the last chapter. I could keep going and going on about this book but I don’t want to giveaway the ending so I am going to just stop now before I give it away. If you have read this book let me know because I would love to discuss this with someone who has read it.
