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.
