Book Review: What is Mine

 

The search for a missing boy entwines the lives of two desperate women. One seeks redemption for her sister; the other will do anything for the love of her life.

Hope Chen and her husband are raising her nine-year-old nephew, Luca, in the wake of his troubled mother’s death. Luca finally has a safe home in a neighborhood where kids play in the streets and nobody locks their doors. Then one day, Luca and his dog disappear without a trace. Guilt-ridden, fearing the worst but praying for the best, Hope finds her imagination running wild.

Meanwhile, a woman with dangerous secrets to keep buried will do anything to protect her marriage. In one fleeting instant, it’s all within her reach. She can finally give her husband the one thing that will make him love her again.

Hope will do anything to get Luca back. The other woman will do anything to stop Hope. As Hope’s search grows more desperate and the other woman’s plans more twisted, their lives collide in an explosive battle of wits. With a boy caught in the middle, nothing on this deadly path of love and revenge is what it seems.

My Review

Wow, what a must-read book! I was instantly hooked and only became more invested as the story progressed. I kind of suspected how the story was going to play out but I was only partially right. Yet, this does not mean that I was not still satisfied by how it played out. 

This book is broken out into three parts. The third part is the strongest. It is where the story all comes together, and everything is revealed. I was not expecting how the story would play out. It was sad but also, I was with Hope in that I felt anger. 

I honestly believe that Tessa did not truly mean any harm, but this is a fine line. How much do you excuse someone for their actions? If this book is not already on your wish list, add it now as you will not want to miss it. Already predicating that it would be a talked about book for 2024!
