Testimony (Amy)
Anita Shreve
305 pages
ARC from Hachette Book Group
Several students at a private boarding school have participated in illicit sexual activity. Worse than that, they were foolish enough to tape it. When the tape makes it’s way into the hands of the headmaster, that’s just the beginning of a cascade of events that will leave many lives changed forever.
This was my first book by Anita Shreve and I didn’t really know what to expect. However, I found this to be a nice easy read and one that I didn’t want to put down. I did spend a good portion of the book thinking that I was reading about the sex scandal, only to be brought up short once I understood the true focus of the story. This had both a positive and negative impact on me. I enjoyed the fact that the true story was not what it seemed but once I began to catch on, things got a teeny bit predictable. Despite that, I really enjoyed reading Testimony and I definitely look forward to reading more by Anita Shreve. (3.5/5)
