Off the Deep End: A Thriller

From the bestselling author of The Best of Friends comes a heart-stopping psychological thriller about the shades of truth and the power of lies in the wake of one mother's unspeakable loss.

Therapist turned stay-at-home mom Jules Hart's idyllic suburban life shatters when she crashes her car into an icy lake. Her son and another teenage boy plunge into the water with her, but Jules can only manage to save one--the wrong one.

Reeling from the death of her son, Jules spirals into a violent and unstable mental state. Ten months after the accident, she's still trying to reckon with the fact that she rescued Isaac Greer, another woman's child, when Isaac suddenly vanishes.

Jules finds herself at the center of a massive police investigation. While she harbors her own dangerous secrets, Jules is adamant that she didn't take Isaac. But then who did? Is Isaac the victim of a dangerous killer who's been targeting boys in the Midwest? Or is someone else pulling the strings in this deadly game?

I initially had trouble getting into this book in April and put it down. I returned to it determined to finish.

It takes some “off the deep end” turns halfway through, and I think I finished it out of stubbornness. Don’t be stubborn like me.

This book was disturbing and had me feeling disgusted by the MFC and how her mental state has deteriorated after what happened to her son.

It was pretty good but not the best I’ve read. The plot was drawn out a lot and I was waiting to get to the point towards the middle of the end of the book. It did finally come together but I felt a lot more was explained then needed. Still a decent read.
