About the Book
Grace first met Mimi when she blew into their sons’ toddler playgroup like a warm bay breeze that loosened Grace’s tight spaces. Despite differing approaches to life and parenting, the fast friends raised their kids together while cementing a sisterlike bond that neither believed could be broken. But when a string of ill-fated decisions results in a teen party with a tragic outcome for Grace’s son, the friendship is ripped apart and an already-splintered community explodes.
Accusations are leveled, litigation ensues, and the people of Potomac Point take sides, all of which threatens Mimi’s business and her current custody agreement. Her sole salvation is a young cop who just might be her second chance at love. That fact only antagonizes Grace, whose marriage is crumbling beneath the weight of blame and the echo of past mistakes.
With their lives unraveling, the former friends stand to lose everything they love unless they learn to forgive—both themselves and each other.
My Review
This was quite the emotional read, with a tragic turn of events at a teen party being the center of attention. For All She Knows explores female friendships and how Grace and Mimi handled their bond being tested, how both families deal with the new set of circumstances surrounding their lives, and what it truly means to forgive in order to move forward. I could genuinely see from both perspectives why Grace and Mimi were making their decisions, and my heart ached for both of them at what they were going through. It was clear the women loved one another, but when their family is threatened, they were ready to fully protect their children – which I respected. The ending wasn’t quite what I was expecting but I still really enjoyed the story and it gave me a lot to think about when it comes to accidents and what happens after the fact.
