Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight upcoming releases we are excited about that we have yet to read.
The book I’m waiting on this week is…
Swoon! That cover! This will be the first book I’ve read by Nicole Baart, and I am super excited about it. I love stories of families, and this one sounds like an emotional read of which I’m also a fan! I plan to read this and have a review up shortly!
Synopsis from Goodreads:
The acclaimed author of Little Broken Things returns with another “race-to-the-finish family drama” (People) about a single mother who becomes embroiled in a mystery that threatens to tear apart what’s left of her family.
Jessica Chamberlain, newly separated and living with her two sons in a small Iowa town, can’t believe that a tragedy in another state could have anything to do with her. But when her phone rings one quiet morning, her world is shattered. As she tries to pick up the pieces and make sense of what went wrong, Jess begins to realize that a tragic death is just the beginning. Soon she is caught in a web of lies and half-truths—and she’s horrified to learn that everything leads back to her seven-year-old adopted son, Gabriel.
Years ago, Gabe’s birth mother requested a closed adoption and Jessica was more than happy to comply. But when her house is broken into and she discovers a clue that suggests her estranged husband was in close contact with Gabe’s biological mother, she vows to uncover the truth at any cost. A harrowing story of tenacious love and heartbreaking betrayal, You Were Always Mine is about the wars we wage to keep the ones we love close, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Jodi Picoult.
Have you read You Were Always Mine, or is it on your shelf? Have you read any other books by Nicole Baart? Please share your link to Can’t Wait/Waiting on Wednesdays/WWW, so I can check yours out! Happy Reading! ~ Jenni THR
Sounds intriguing. The whole part about the MC’s ex having close contact with her adooted son’s bio mom already got my wannabe detective brain. Great pick, Jen 😁

Ooh this sounds like it could be intense! Love the sound of the mystery- the estranged husband/ biological mother connection seems quite suspicious. 🙂

I haven’t heard of the author before but just from the blurb, the story already sounds so twisty! And family dramas are the best! Hope you enjoy this one, Jennifer! 😀
