Karen's Reviews > The Half Moon

Malcolm and Jen started out contented. They were known as a golden couple. Malcolm had dreams of owning a bar, while Jess wanted children. By the time we meet them, it doesn't appear these dreams are being met in the ways originally planned - Malcolm is deeply in debt - and Jess is grieving her dream of ever being a Mom.

The story takes place over the course of a week during a blizzard which forces confrontations and secrets to come to light.

There is also a missing person weaved into the story as a subplot. But the real mystery will be whether Malcolm and Jess will find their way back to each other.

The author, knows how to create nuanced characters. She is romantic and real at the same time.

The story is gripping, and as readers we want resolution. We root for the characters, and wait for resolution to happen.

Will it turn out as we expect it to be?
