In This Moment by Karma Brown
4.0
Thank you to Goodreads and Park Row Books for providing me with a proof of In This Moment by Karma Brown in exchange for an honest review. The book was an easy read even though the story is quite complex. Meg Pepper has her busy life under control: her real estate job, her physician husband, her teenage daughter, her best friend all make her life happy and productive. While driving her daughter from school one day, Meg stops the car to wave a teenager named Jack across the street, not knowing that a car is oncoming in the next lane. A teacher is driving and texting and slams into the young man. The novel, from that moment, deals with the ripple effects of that split-second decision that will affect the lives of many people. Jack's and his family's lives will be forever changed as well as Meg's and her family's lives. There is plenty of food for thought here. It is a cautionary tale that stays with you long after you have finished reading.
