Surface

About the Book:
Claire Montgomery has a lifetime of sensible decisions behind her. Yet all it takes is one impulsive indiscretion to bring everything crashing down—her marriage to a wealthy entrepreneur, her status as half of one of Denver society’s power couples, and the future she dreamed of for their seventeen-year-old son, Nick.
Claire’s husband, Michael, angrily blames her for the recklessness that has left Nick’s life in the balance, though not nearly as much as Claire blames herself. But as Nick struggles to move forward, Claire too begins inching toward a reimagined future. Along with a fresh perspective come new questions. Are there other reasons for her fractured relationship and Michael’s increasingly erratic behavior? Has he, too, been harboring painful secrets? And does Claire dare to find the real truth, when her seamlessly decorated world of privilege and security is at stake?
Biography
My Review:
Surface is the debut novel by Stacy Robinson and I enjoyed it. I read through the book pretty fast, I liked the 1980’s references. I thought the book had a lot going on so thought it was fast moving. It touched on many painful topics including health and social issue. Claire was not the nicest person and many of her actions caused bad things to happen. Like her son who had diabetes overdosing on cocaine and problems with her marriage. I always like to read a book by someone I haven’t read before and find new authors. I will look for the next book by Stacy Robinson.
I received a Copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the review.
