About this listen

The acclaimed author of Little Broken Things returns with another "race-to-the-finish family drama" (People) about a single mother who becomes embroiled in a mystery that threatens to tear apart what's left of her family.

Jessica Chamberlain, newly separated and living with her two sons in a small Iowa town, can't believe a tragedy in another state could have anything to do with her. But when her phone rings one quiet morning, her world is shattered. As she tries to pick up the pieces and make sense of what went wrong, Jess begins to realize a tragic death is just the beginning.

Soon, she is caught in a web of lies and half-truths - and she's horrified to learn everything leads back to her seven-year-old adopted son, Gabriel. Years ago, Gabe's birth mother requested a closed adoption, and Jessica was more than happy to comply. But when her house is broken into and she discovers a clue that suggests her estranged husband was in close contact with Gabe's biological mother, she vows to uncover the truth at any cost.

A harrowing story of tenacious love and heartbreaking betrayal, You Were Always Mine is about the wars we wage to keep the ones we love close, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Jodi Picoult.

I completed this one in three tranches purely by will power. Its too long a story without much of a substance. There's not enough happening and when I read some other reviews I simply wonder how this one has a near 4 star review.

Story should have been concluded in less than the 13 hours currently. I'd strictly avoid this one.

While the story is about adoption and some of the darker aspects involved, the focus only turns on the subject towards the end where it just crumbles down in a heap. There's just no build up except for the fact that the reader has to assume something is going on given the emphasis on the relationship of the primary character. Evan the husband although important to the plot seems to be used more as a filler rather than a strong protagonist.

The writing style therefore is not much to my personal liking. A lot of verbiage. Wonder what the editor was doing. I would totally avoid this book. And if the author's other books are similar then I'd bypass this author completely. It takes an effort to stay invested in the reading. And its excruciating. Pass.

Slooooooow moving storyline.
