About the Book
Everybody lies. Even the ones you think you know best of all . . .
Olivia Bender designs exquisite home interiors that satisfy the most demanding clients. But her own deepest desire can't be fulfilled by marble counters or the perfect rug. She desperately wants to be a mother. Fertility treatments and IVF keep failing. And just when she feels she's at her lowest point, the police deliver shocking news to Olivia and her husband, Park.
DNA results show that the prime suspect in a murder investigation is Park's son. Olivia is relieved, knowing this is a mistake. Despite their desire, the Benders don't have any children. Then comes the confession. Many years ago, Park donated sperm to a clinic. He has no idea how many times it was sold—or how many children he has sired.
As the murder investigation goes deeper, more terrible truths come to light. With every revelation, Olivia must face the unthinkable. The man she married has fathered a killer. But can she hold that against him when she keeps such dark secrets of her own?
This twisting, emotionally layered thriller explores the lies we tell to keep a marriage together--or break each other apart . . .
My Review
It's One of Us by J.T. Ellison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I've read J.T. Ellison before, so I knew I was in for a great ride when I began this one - and boy was I ever! This had so many twists and turns I felt like I needed a seatbelt! From the very beginning of this one, we're led on a wild ride which starts with a murder, leads us down a very wild path involving cold cases, sperm donations, twin brothers, OH MY!
But it's best to let you discover things as they play out. Because let me tell you, that's not even the half of it. Trust me. And it goes until the very end of the book.
Each of the characters in this book are flawed in some deep way, and seeing all of those personalities interact and work through this complicated situation is quite interesting. With all the complexities of the murder investigation and the tests that keep popping up, seeing Olivia, Park and their friends and families work together to try and keep tings under control was really interesting because they couldn't seem to all get on the same page, and each of them was hiding their own secrets and lying to each other about something as well. The characters and their personalities were almost as interesting as the storyline itself.
I greatly enjoyed this book and will keep looking out for more J.T. Ellison books. She's a very talented author that knows how to create great storylines and characters that draw me into her books and keep me wanting more!
