What would you do in order to save your family from harm? Eve is a mother of two and one of her children has been living with a life threatening condition and she has spent the last few years taking care of her son and trying to keep the rest of the family together. A tragedy happens and she must make a big decision.

Thankfully the tragedy that occurs isn't spoiled in the synopsis and I can't spoil it here either! I can say that it involves the neighborhood and I thought this was in interesting twist by adding in neighbors as bigger characters mixed in with the family drama aspect. The other part that kept me reading was the disease that Eve's son Tyler lives with - his inability to be near UV rays and sunlight. This book made me thing about the extreme of this disease and what those have to suffer through.

As I read through this book, I kept thinking what would I do differently. I see that as a sign that the characters were believe-able, enough so that I was debating their choices. I would have liked to have gotten out of Eve's head a bit more and explored the neighbors. Buckley told just enough to get my interest. It would have been interesting to have learned more about their secret lives, as the curtains were separated just enough to perk interest. Smooth writing and easy to enjoy. Received book in goodreads contest, with expectation of fair review
