february bookclub

This month our bookclub book was The Winters in Bloom by Lisa Tucker.

Synopsis: Kyra and David Winter are both hiding something. We don’t know what, and neither of them know their spouse’s secret either. However, it’s something so big, so heart-wrenching, that before they got married, they decided not to have children. However, they later decided to have a child. Their six-year-old son Michael disappears from the backyard one afternoon. They’ve tried to protect him from everything, because they know that they don’t deserve a child and so they aren’t at all surprised that they’ve lost him.

My review: I hated this book. Hated it! I didn’t like the actual story line much and I hated how the author kept switching between who was narrating the story. It happened so often that at times I would lose track. The writing was sloppy and disjointed.  Too much of it was this-happened-then-this-happened-then-this-happened…without much action to go along with it. It was just a mess. I makes me sad because this was an author I have never read before but I am doubtful that I will read anything by her again.

Do you remember the last truly bad book you read?
