A review by sandeestarlite
The Promised World by Lisa Tucker

3.0

Lila leads a very dysfunctional life where her brother is her universe, little though he seems to respect her. Her husband, her career, her choice of reading materials are all filtered through Billy's eyes. And her husband filters everything through Lila's eyes, making for an interesting spiral downward for everyone.
While everyone is very needy, the author does a good job with plausability. We all know people like this - it's a tough read when you just want to shout "WAKE UP".
