I Looked Away by Jane Corry
4.0
All her life, Ellie had it rough. Nothing ever came easy for her. However, she found her way in life : she now has a husband, two kids and a grandson, Josh, whom she loves more than anything in life. One afternoon, Roger gets a call from that other woman, and Ellie, furious, takes her eyes off of Josh for two seconds. What happens after will change her life forever.
Starting this one, I sometimes felt bored, wasting my time. Yet, I quickly changed my mind and became trapped inside Ellie’s and Jo’s tumultuous lives.
It’s definitely not a light read, as it tackles tough subjects. But it also brought compassion and emotional complexity along the line. Some may say a plot twist or two could be predictable, but in my opinion, this thriller will keep you on the edge the whole time.
I would recommend this thriller to you if you are looking for a great story that’s not husband-crazy/wife-trapped related.
