We Were Mothers by Katie Sise
4.0
Good read
I originally wasn't leaving a review of this book, simply because I am terrible at reviews. However, as I was reading through the other reviews on Goodreads, after having read the book myself, I was really bummed out at all of the low stars. I greatly disagreed with many of the reviews, so I thought I'd leave my opinion too.
For me, this book delivered exactly what I was expecting. I loved the telling from every woman's different standpoint. It built the excitement and suspense for me to have to wait for the continuation of each woman's story, as I read through the next. Yes, a lot of it was predictable, but I didn't find any of it outlandish or unbelievable. When it comes to suspense books, I think a lot of people lack the ability to turn off their own life and ideas and completely immerse themselves in the writing, which makes it difficult for them to keep up with the drama. I think that's something that maybe the low reviewers have encountered with this book. However, that's just my two cents.
This was definitely a page turner for me. Even though some things were predicable, where the story was leading, wasn't, and I did find myself surprised a few times. This was my first Katie Sise book, but I think she did a great job on her first adult novel and I'm intrigued to read more from her.
