White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

White Picket Fences was a wonderful book, that kept me engaged start to finish. I was hesitant to read it, but kept coming back to it. I finally decided to take the chance, and I am so glad I did. I immediately was drawn in, and related to Julie. While I have not gone through the same struggles as her, I think many of her feelings are common among many mothers. The author did a great job of developing the story, and the characters. They were all very relatable and felt real. Their feelings and actions were very realistic and well written. Julie has been a mom for half of her life, and is struggling to re-discover who SHE is as a person, not as a mom or wife. And I 100% get that, been there! I enjoyed seeing all sides of the situation, not just Julie herself. We got a taste of how her kids, husband, and friends felt and handled the situation. The author jumped back and forth in the timeline, slowly uncovering the events of one fateful day. The transition was smooth and clear. I never once felt like I was missing valuable information, as it was revealed in a timely manner. My one complaint is the ending. I felt like the story was not resolved, and I wanted it to continue further. I wanted to see what happens next- for Julie, Michael and the girls. Highly recommend this book and would love to read more by the author.
