All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was such a good book. Nina is married to a man who sold his tech company for a lot of money. They are living the life, so she thinks. He’s successful, she’s involved in philanthropic projects, and their son has just been accepted into Princeton.
Then her perfect son makes a bad decision which victimizes a scholarship student at his tony private school. The word, and the photo, get around fast and Nina’s world stars to fall apart.
The father of the girl, Lyla, is a carpenter. His wife is an alcoholic who left him to raise their daughter alone. His whole life revolves around her and when he sees what has happened, he wants someone to pay.
This book is well written, as all of Emily Giffin’s books are. The storyline sucked me right in and I couldn’t put it down!
