A review by autumn_alwaysreadingseason
The Promised World by Lisa Tucker

3.0

Lila and Billy are twins so when Billy commits suicide by police Lila is naturally devastated. However, there are many secrets about her life with Billy that Lila has no recollection of. She has hardly any memory of her childhood up until age 16. This book is as fragmented and mysterious as Lila's memory. At times it is frustrating. There are so many events that occur yet there are just as many unresolved questions. I don't mind unresolved questions as long as they have a purpose and I don't think all of these questions do. What happens with the CPS? Does Lila get better? Does Patrick ever tell Lila of his mistake? Does Lila ever go back to work? Does William tell anybody that the gun was his? I'd like a little more information.
