When an Old Love Surfaces

 


Molly Diamond once an aspiring writer is now a wife and mother living in an affluent community that she doesn’t feel comfortable in. Like all couples, Molly and her husband, Hunter, have their struggles exacerbated by Molly trying to get pregnant with their second child.


Ten years ago, Molly was madly in love with Jake, the lead singer in a band. He even wrote a hit song for her. Now she’s hearing the song again and old memories come back. In the midst of her problems, Sabrina moves to Molly’s community. She’s different from the other women and Molly is sure she’s found a friend.


Sabrina, however, has a past and it ties to Molly. As their friendship unfolds secrets both from Sabrina and Molly surface. Now Molly has to face things she would rather keep buried.


The story is told from three points of view: Molly, Sabrina, and Jake. I thought it added a lot to a rather mundane story to have insight into how each of the characters viewed what was happening. I didn’t particularly like the characters. There was much happening that could have led to growth, but none of them seemed to change or want to change.


If you enjoy a rather gossipy romantic interlude, this book is for you. It is definitely not a thriller of a mystery, but it can be an enjoyable read.


I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
