Book Review: 20/20 Hindsight
Summary: 4 Stars

If you've read the synopsis, you know that Daisy, Steven and Jack were friends since the 2nd grade. When they became teenagers, the guys both realized that they were harboring feelings for Daisy that went beyond friendship. Daisy loved them both, but fell in love with Jack and secretly they became lovers. Then tragedy: Jack's parents are killed in an auto accident leaving him in charge of his younger brother and the family business. He finds 18-year-old Daisy to be clingy and jealous and pushes her away while he deals with grief and the urgency of making a living. But Daisy has discovered she's pregnant. Jack rejected her, obviously doesn't love her anymore. Terrified, she confesses her troubles to Steven, who snaps her up.

So how mature were you at 18? That's a nightmare scenario for a teenage girl like Daisy, a dream opportunity for a teenage boy like Steven. It's easy to dictate what they all should have done, but in real life you screw up. And once you do, you seem to keep building on the first bungled decision. So 15 years after Daisy and Steven leave town, the widowed Daisy returns with Jack's teenage son.

Pain, love, resentment and anger, feelings of betrayal and longing are all realistically laid out for the reader to feel. A surprisingly fine book from a dependable author. Highly recommended.
