Tear Me Apart by J.T. Ellison
One moment will change their lives forever…
Competitive skier Mindy Wright is a superstar in the making until a spectacular downhill crash threatens not just her racing career but her life. During surgery, doctors discover she’s suffering from a severe form of leukemia, and a stem cell transplant is her only hope. But when her parents are tested, a frightening truth emerges. Mindy is not their daughter.
Who knows the answers?
The race to save Mindy’s life means unraveling years of lies. Was she accidentally switched at birth or is there something more sinister at play? The search for the truth will tear a family apart… and someone is going to deadly extremes to protect the family’s deepest secrets.
With vivid movement through time, Tear Me Apart examines the impact layer after layer of lies and betrayal has on two families, the secrets they guard, and the desperate fight to hide the darkness within.
I really enjoyed this and found it hard to put down.
Being a mystery/thriller, this review will be short. Mindy is a seventeen year old skier that is pretty much guaranteed to be heading to the Olympics. She has a bad fall and breaks her leg though. At the hospital, they find leukemia and need to start treatments right away. But neither of her parents are a DNA match. That’s when lots of secrets from the past start coming out. The book has some letters and chapters from the past. There is a big focus on mental illness and suicide attempts, so please be careful if these are triggering. Also miscarriages. I thought the pacing was pretty good, especially for a longer book.
I gave this book 5 stars.
