Set in a small town in Colorado, Monday, Sunday tells the enthralling story of Laney Secord. She is a 32-year-old single mother who finds herself attracted to a 16-year-old Eagle Scout, Christopher. Unable to accept her feelings, Laney becomes involved with Christopher’s father, Bill. In the course of a week, a romantic triangle envelops the trio and changes their lives in ways in which none of them could have imagined.
A gripping story of a complex woman at a crossroads in her life. A woman who is determined to rediscover herself. She becomes powerfully aware that every decision she makes could mean life or.. death.
“In this beautifully written and compelling novel, author Fenton Grace explores the consequences of flawed choices, the nature of betrayal and forgiveness, and the boundaries of sexual attraction.” Noah, Book Reviewer
My Thoughts on Monday, Sunday by Fenton Grace:
Laney is a 32 year old widow. Her husband died three years ago and she has put her life on hold. She feels guilty for his death and for the brief affair she had before he died. She doesn’t feel she’s ready to date yet and has not been motivated to work. Then Christopher, a 16 year old boy turns up at her house looking for a donation for the Eagle Scouts. He is instantly attracted to her and though she brushes him off, she is attracted to him as well.
Christopher wont let up and starts pursuing Laney. He tries to talk her into sleeping with him and says he wont tell anyone. Laney’s 7 year old son is also quite fond of Christopher. Meanwhile, Laney meets Bill, Christopher’s father. He asks her out and she accepts. After their first date he asks her to marry him. This is all overwhelming for Lacey and going way to fast for comfort.
This well written novel delves into the triangle relationship between Laney, a 16 year old boy and his father. Though Christopher professes his love to Laney, in my opinion, this is not a love story. It is said to be in the romance/thriller genre but I wouldn’t label it as such. It is literary and contemporary, for sure. It definitely has a noir edge. It is about passion and guilt and what happens once you let the proverbial genie out of the bottle.
4/5
I received the Kindle version for my honest review.
