I read it years ago when it came out and discovered it on the monthly thread here. I really liked it. I found lots of books and enjoyed them based the recos on the monthly thread. Thanks ladies.

I finished it two weeks ago. I started it and based on reviews here, stayed up all night to finish! I can't wait until it's ok to discuss on here! I don't want to ruin anything for those waiting to read it.

Finished it last night. Was very very good, not sure what to think about that ending.......Not at all what I expected.........What did you all think? Do you think that Jacob was really guilty? How as a parent would you have handled it? Especially after the incident with the drowning?

@CANDLEQUEEN I too thought it was very good, not sure about that ending though, I read it about 2 years ago!

@CANDLEQUEEN

I do think Jacob was guilty. I felt that way from the beginning, but I didn't want it to be true.

This is one of my all-time favorite audiobooks!

The ending knocked my socks off.

I found the book here years ago and enjoyed it very much. I don't remember a lot of the books I read but I remembered this one and it stayed with me.

@hick Me too. It's been a long time, but I do remember having very mixed reactions about the ending. Anyone else?

I feel that Jacob was, indeed, guilty. The ending was shocking; however, I believe Jacob's mother could not live with his guilt or her part in defending him after the beach incident.

Very good book! I read it a few years ago and what I remember thinking is what would I do if I was his mother?....lots of interesting twists & turns.
