I love all books by B. A. Paris, but this was a little too Hallmark-movie-dramatic. It wasn't the usual psycho-thriller that Paris writes. And it IS a dilemma that could have been avoided, but then we wouldn't have a book.
Livia (mom) didn't get to have the huge wedding her parents dreamed of because she got pregnant at 17....oh the horrors! So she has dreamed, planned, and saved for a huge party to celebrate her 40th birthday. Not a trip with family, not a scholarship fund for needy kids, nope, she wants the bash of a lifetime and has thought about it and dreamed of the perfect night for 20 years. (sigh)
Adam (dad) goes along with it because he loves Liv but finds out some horrifying news on the day of the party. He can't completely confirm the news so doesn't share with Livia so she can have her big bash.
The dilemma comes when Livia has learned info about their daughter three weeks before the party but keeps it from Adam. And Adam keeps his news from Livia. I won't share more but it would make a TV movie for some network, I'm sure. (another sigh)
