LoveReading Says
Taking place in just over 24 hours, this exciting, disturbing, and oh so readable tale just roars along. Yet it begins quietly, with Paul Strom detailing his thoughts, his preparation for a romantic weekend away, alone with his wife. This is a family with everyday issues, the little and big niggles, the disappointments, the joy. Kaira Rouda allows Paul to express himself with certainty, as he talked in the first person his words slipped into my consciousness. Then insidious and disquieting little snippets of information began to sneak in without knocking, though their meaning soon hammered home, proving all is not as it first seems. As I read, I burned at the injustice, the sense of wrong, I wanted to shout a warning, to call a halt, to stop this day from reaching its conclusion. Provocative and stimulating The Best Day Ever is a delightfully effortless and thrilling read. ~ Liz Robinson
