Debut
Oh, Nadia, Nadia.!
My heart hurt for you when your mother committed suicide and you were only 17. Then I was rooting for you when you went off to college, but you disappointed me in your late 20's.
Having said all that, I still did not feel connected to any of the characters and ALL of their drama. Another in the Domestic Fiction Genre.
I do look forward to reading "The Vanishing Half" by Ms. Bennett.
Goodreads:
It is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it's not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance—and the subsequent cover-up—will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver, and dogged by the constant, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently? The possibilities of the road not taken are a relentless haunt.
