Little Disasters
Little Disasters: A Novel | Sarah Vaughan
In this new novel from the internationally bestselling author of the “cool, sharp, and beautifully written” (Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author) Anatomy of a Scandal, a doctor is faced with an ethical dilemma when her friend’s child lands in the emergency room. Liz Trenchard is an experienced pediatrician with a duty to protect all children admitted to her busy emergency room. So when her friend Jess turns up at the ER one night with her baby girl and a story that doesn’t quite add up, Liz is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her friend and about herself. There are so many secrets and so many lies. The truth can’t come soon enough. With Sarah Vaughan’s signature “clever and compelling” (Claire Douglas, author of Last Seen Alive) prose, this is a tightly-wound and evocative page-turner that will haunt you long after you finish the last page.

I‘ve read two books back to back about mothers and their motives and now I‘m getting them confused. #booknerdproblems

Came home from my after work walk and realized our lilacs are blooming. It's a beautiful day.

Not so good. Pretty much wishing I would have skipped this one. The action was so long and drawn out without much payoff. A decent enough example of the pressures of motherhood in spots but just a silly conclusion. Really doubt I‘ll remember anything about this book in a few months.

This was just really slow for me. Too many characters and things going on for me to keep track of and I just lost interest early on because it was too much. I think it just needed to be a little more clear and a stronger story.

I like books that I don't have all figured out before the author reveals everything at the end. This is a great mystery novel.

Jess turns up at the ER with her baby who has a skull fracture and her story doesn't add up. Liz is her bestie and happens to be on duty. And it escalates from there. It was hard to put down.

This is told from multiple points of view, including Jess‘s, the mother of the baby. We don‘t get a full account of what‘s happened until later in the book, with a couple of twists along the way. I‘m not a mom, but you can see how stressful parenting can be in some instances. I thought this was really good. It kept me reading and wanting to know what happened to that poor little girl.
