You Me Everything
Catherine Isaac
When
Jessica decides to take her son, William, on holiday to a French
chateau, she does so with more on her mind than just a relaxing
getaway. The chateau in question has been restored and now operates
as a hotel run by her former boyfriend Adam, who happens to be
William's father. Her mother, who suffers from the debilitating
Huntington's disease, has convinced Jessica that William needs to get
to know his father, even if Jessica isn't keen on the idea. Jessica
has her reasons for not wanting to go first because she isn't
convinced Adam is up to being a parent and also because she has a
secret she's been keeping from both Adam and William.
Although You Me Everything is a sad story, as it deals with disease and broken relationships, it doesn't disappoint. It's full of interesting characters, scenery and complete with a satisfying end. The author does such a good job of developing the characters, by the time I finished reading, I felt as if I'd been in the French countryside with them. But, before you get to the end, you might find, like me, that you need a tissue or two.
