The Dilemma





 It’s Livia’s fortieth birthday and tonight she’s having a party, a party she’s been planning for a long time. The only person missing will be her daughter, Marnie.


But Livia has a secret, a secret she’s been keeping from Adam, her husband, until the party is over. Because how can she tell him that although she loves Marnie, she’s glad their daughter won’t be there to celebrate with her?

Adam is determined everything will be just right for Livia and the party is going to be perfect… until he learns something that will leave him facing an unbearable decision.





I am a huge fan of B.A. Paris' first 2 novels, but the last two have just been ugh for me.  I thought she was the author for me, but I am not so sure anymore.  I just could not relate to this book at all.  Who choses to live in a smaller house for years just so they can have a fancy birthday party?  Totally unbelievable.  Also, every problem in this book could have been handled quickly if people would have just spoken to one another.  I mean, honestly, you fear your daughter is dead but you can pretend like nothing is happening and you don't tell your wife so she can enjoy her party???  I just didn't buy an of it.  Sorry, I will try another novel by this author but maybe I need to move on.
