Overview
A gripping psychological thriller, Best Boy teeters on the knife-edge of memory and identity when the arrival of a shocking letter threatens the carefully constructed life of a woman desperate to outrun her past.
Viveca Stevenson has it all: a handsome and successful husband, an adorable ten-year-old son, and a coastal dream house in Greenwich, Connecticut. She has a solid group of girlfriends and is content with the afterglow of the film career she’s left behind. But when a threatening letter arrives—from a man she does not remember—it cracks open a part of her past she thought was buried for good.
A terrifying chain of events is set in motion, forcing Viveca to confront what happened on a shattering Halloween night in high school when she had a different name, a different face, a different voice. Who is the man contacting her now and was he really the best boy on her most famous film, Misty? Why can’t she remember him—or that night?
A taut psychological thriller, Best Boy explores identity, memory, and the dangerous power of forgetting.
Review
Viveca Stevenson has it all: a handsome and successful husband, an adorable ten-year-old son, and a coastal dream house in Greenwich, Connecticut. But when a threatening letter arrives—from a man she does not remember—it cracks open a part of her past she thought was buried for good.
Viveca, on the outside appears to be perfect, but she is deeply flawed and definitely unstable. And as her mysterious past starts to unfold around her…so does her sanity.
This story started out strong but failed to keep my interest. It does have some good psychological issues and this definitely draws the reader in. But the story itself is slow. And the ending could have been stronger!
I received this novel for a honest review.
