Review: The Perfect Family

The Perfect Family by Lorna Dounaeva
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I received an advanced copy of this book from Inkubator Books via NetGalley.

Victoria has the perfect life. And she’ll do whatever it takes to keep it. For Victoria, image is everything. And on the surface, she has it all - a big house, a successful husband and two beautiful children. But behind the scenes, things are very different. Because Victoria and her husband have a dark secret and she lives in terror of it being discovered, of her perfect facade being shattered forever.

Under massive stress, but still desperately trying to keep up appearances, this is a family that is falling apart. Husband Kit is unable to work. Teenage daughter Anna grows ever more rebellious. And nine-year-old Joey seems increasingly different from other kids. Victoria realizes she has to act now or she will lose everything. And that’s when she has to ask herself - how far is she willing to go, how much is she willing to do, to preserve her perfect family? The answer is beyond shocking and will plunge them all into a nightmare from which they may never wake.

I was very intrigued about how this book started off but really what was that ending? I liked getting each of the different perspectives from Victoria, Anna, and Richie and the way that each was processing the stress of what was going on around them. I thought the beginning of the book was very good and definitely pulled me in as a reader.
