Review
I was so excited to get chance to be on this tour having read all the previous B A Paris books and been hooked, this was just such an amazing oppurtunity.
The Dilemma follows Livia and Adam. Its Livias 40th brthday and she is finally get the party she has always dreamt of as she didnt get her dream wedding day. It all has to be perfect. Adam is going to make sure of it, there is only one member of the family missing and that is the couples daughter Marnie. Livia has a big secret to tell Adam about Marnie and Adam is keeping his own.
But it all boils down too the couple wanting to have one lat happy family moment. What would you do?
This was such a gripping read, it really posed such moral questions that as a reader you spend the time questioning what you would do? The characters had their flaws, and personalities that made them feel so real and i enjoyed that greatly.
The chapters were short enough that you flew through them quickly but long enough that you got plenty from each one, i also really liked the way we followed the evening from both points of view as it all unfolded before us, the reader.
It was a thrilling read but felt so much deeper than that, its up there as one of my favourites by the author and it was a truely great way to kick off the year and i really suggest this is one to add to your TBR
