REVIEW - Thank you Net Galley for my ARC.
It’s a while since I’ve read a Maggie Alderson book but I always enjoy them.
Would you rather be a grieving widow or a deserted wife? Sophie became both on the same day (no spoiler alert needed, this is how the book starts). Thereupon follows a story peopled with Maggie Alderson’s usual beautiful people, dealing with whatever life chooses to throw at them.
Without warning, Sophie is faced with the prospect of re-building her life by herself when she thought she and Matt were going to be starting something new together. In one day Sophie’s emotions are tossed about in a whirlwind: starting out with love and hope, then suddenly moving to rejection and hurt; to anger; then massive shock and grief; then back-tracking to anger, hurt, rejection, love, but bewilderment in place of hope.
Sophie’s good fortune is in her loving family and her many kind, caring, creative and artistic friends. Moral dilemmas are sensitively thought through; Sophie isn’t the only one left with conflicting emotions and dealing with the same question of whether it is better to stay silent or share what they know.
Would you Rather is filled with Maggie Alderson’s signature wit and style and her readers are going to love it.
