MY REVIEW OF High Hopes

Grace, Dixie and Sam were inseparable. Although Dixie and Sam were a couple, Grace and Sam had been close friends the longest. Unknown to Dixie, Grace and Sam had a one night stand that resulted in Grace having a daughter that she gave up for adoption. Now 20 years later, Grace has to tell Sam about the daughter she gave up. Can Dixie and Sam’s relationship survive the betrayal, and can they ever trust Grace as a friend again?


This had an interesting plot of eclectic characters. Even at her age, Grace was still immature, but I could tell by the end that she had grown wiser. I thought Danny, the gardener, was an amazing character, with his upbeat personality. It was hard for me to imagine any good outcome to the situation that they all faced. It had me riveted throughout the read. But I did enjoy the closure that the author gave to the story.
