Prom night didn't turn out the way Amber would have wanted it to turn out.
Instead of partying, Amber was in pain and went to the room her date, Joe, had booked.
The pains were labor pains. Amber delivered the baby and then ended up killing it....something she didn't remember.
She went to a juvenile detention center, and twenty years later ends back in her hometown of Baltimore that she swore she never wanted to see again.
Amber knew Joe lived there with his wife and didn't plan to see him, but wanted to.
As Amber was getting her art gallery ready for its opening, Joe came into the shop, and it all started over again for her. What about for Joe?
Alternating chapters tell Joe's, Meredith's, and Amber's stories both past and present.
PROM MOM is a slow build up with mostly unlikable characters, especially Joe, and a plot that makes you wonder where this story line is going.
You will find out....BUT…the background information, the real estate information and other detailed information dragged for me, and I wasn't interested in it.
All of that took away from the story line for me.
The last ten percent of the book was the most interesting and had a big surprise, but not enough to rate the book higher. 3/5
This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.
We don’t do prom other than a few international schools in the city but I’ve learnt now it’s a big event in a teenagers world.
ReplyDeleteIt is a big event for them. 😊
DeleteThis book was not a favorite. Very disappointed. I usually love her books.
