Close Your Eyes is about the effect of a devastating tragedy on three women's lives from their childhood to adult. Each is involved in the tragedy in a different way. The story had the potential to be a very powerful one. Unfortunately, the characters and each individual story was not developed in detail. It would have been interesting seeing the characters and their emotions/reactions more developed. Perhaps the book could have been told from one perspective allowing the reader to feel that character's emotions. The book seemed detached and unfinished.

There also appeared to be editorial issues with the book. The cover refers to one of the main characters as being six at a point in the story. The text refers to the same character as being eight at the same point.
