Synopsis -
Embark on an exhilarating reunion with Lizzie Levine, Southport, North Carolina’s newest resident, who first graced our hearts in the award-winning novel Call Her Janie. In this eagerly awaited sequel by S.R. Fabrico, the stakes are higher, the twists more exhilarating, and the drama more enthralling.
Reuniting with her daughter, Janie, should be the start of Lizzie’s picture-perfect life. Behind the scenes, however, is a different matter. The happiness of having her daughter back is overshadowed by the fear ad distrust of her ex-boyfriend, billionaire Gray Stone.
Amidst the tapestry of wedding preparations, the custody fight looms. The story unfolds in a battleground of secrets, lies, and deception. In this gripping narrative, love and lies entwine, danger lurks in the shadows, and the courage to confront one’s past becomes paramount. Can Lizzie gain custody of her daughter, marry the man she loves, and have her happily-ever-after, or will the mistakes of their past destroy them all?
Review -
It's been awhile since I have read a darker themed fiction book of this type. Although my kids are grown, I struggled with the pain Lizzie faced trying to gain custody of her daughter. Why this is such a difficult battle is covered in book one, so I suggest you read it first as I don't want to give any spoilers. All I can say is it is an unusual twist.
The plot follows several themes - a new love, the father of her child who was initially indifferent, but now wants joint custody, a sick future father-in-law, a psycho woman who believes Janie is hers and will stop at nothing to take her away from her true mother. Lizzie moves from high moments to dark ones in a constant wave. And, unlike most books, it comes without the standard happy ending. What twist does the end take? You'll have to read to find out.
Well written with an unusual backstory (again I would read book one first), it's a good read if you are okay with dark themes, struggles and can let go of the need for a fairy tale ending.
