Found: Mystery/Suspense/Thriller “madox” in Name that Book (september 2021)

Lenna’s young son cries all the time. She needs a break and her husband is not very helpful. Lenna decides to go visit an old friend and she hopes to repair their relationship. This friend, Rhiannon, lives in a commune. When Lenna arrives, she immediately knows something is not right.

I had a bit of trouble connecting with the characters in this tale. I also found the dialogue between the characters a bit simple. Or rather, it did not feel like adults talking to each other, especially mothers.

I did enjoy the concept of the “mommune”, a commune full of mothers and young children. This makes the story move quickly. However, the “meat” of the story does not happen till the very end. And believe me, it is a good, tangled mess full of secrets. It just took a while to get there.

Need a twisted tale about friendship…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.

Oh. My. Gosh. Talk about unreliable characters! Pretty much every character in Sara Shephard's new book, Nowhere Like Home, is lying. And I loved trying to figure out what was the truth.
Nowhere Like Home is told through three women's narratives - Lenna, Sarah and Rhiannon. There is a fourth woman, and her narrative is told a bit differently. Shepard did a great creating her characters. I was drawn to one in particular, and could understand the motives of another. But one is downright dangerous. As the book progressed, my opinion about what the final chapters would bring was challenged. I love not being to predict a plot.

Friendship is the driving theme in this book. What makes a good friend? How much of your life would you reveal? Some? All? And what if that trust was broken....

As readers we are privy to some (but not all) of the lies being told. The not knowing the answer as to what the truth, was kept me engrossed from first page to last. There's lots of suspense and action as well. A few plot devices were a bit overboard for me - but just go with it.

A mommune….novel approach about a commune for women and children. I can see the appeal for some, but basically not a good idea.

My daughter loved the show ‘Pretty Little Liars’ so I thought I’d give this author a try. Could have been my age vs theirs, generation gap? The premise was original, and the writing was good, but the storyline was all over the place so much so that I had a hard time focusing. It does a great job shedding light on mental health issues. Unfortunately, I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, found them immature and whiney. There are definite twists and turns I didn’t see coming, but overall it was not for me. With friends like this, who needs enemies!

Thanks to Penguin/Dutton Publishing for this ARC. This is my honest opinion.
