Inspired by an actual crime, We Would Never by Tova Mirvis explores a dysfunctional family as the only daughter goes through a contentious divorce. How far will they go to support her?

This is the first novel I've read by this author, and the writing style was 'unique.' At times it felt like a script for a true crime documentary which made it hard for me to connect with the story - yet I had to finish to get the full explanation of events. I appreciate the author's ability to create nuance around events that are shockingly wrong.

I should've anticipated the ending but didn't. I like some ambiguous threads at the conclusion of books, but this plot just stopped abruptly.

Thank you to Avid Reader Press for sharing review copies of this novel.
