Description
About the Book:
Few things are more terrifying than living in total darkness, but Charlie may have found something worse. On the verge of total blindness, she discovers that life as she knows it is a lie, and that lie entangles everyone she loves.
Charlie's mother, Nina, is holding her life and family together with a fraying ribbon. She is walking the line of functional depression, terrified to admit she'd trade every bit of her beautiful life for the truth.
Marie has everything she needs-supportive family, friends, and a career she loves. As a blind woman in Baltimore, Maryland, she's learned not to ask for more, but when Walter Mavin walks across her front porch in early spring, he doesn't just interrupt Wednesday afternoon knit club. He disrupts her whole world.
Author Lili Vincent explores the depth and strength of relationships that transcend distance, space, and time. Her debut novel, a multi-point-of-view masterpiece, will take you on a captivating journey knit by three women as they face their fears and confront a deception that could break a family for good. See Saw invites the reader to ask the questions:
Is it okay to lie if lying protects people you love?
&
How far will a person go to find forgiveness?
Advance Praise
"In addition to the three strong women at the center of this novel and more than enough plot to keep the reader turning pages, what distinguishes this debut, it seems to me, is a kind of sympathy and human decency we don’t see enough of in fiction anymore. Lily Vincent's characters are complex, no doubt, but ultimately, these are people that you want to root for and the author has clearly poured her whole heart into every line."

See ~ Saw was a beautifully written novel. The characters were heartwarming and real and I felt like I really got to know them through the story and I was sad when it ended, although I loved the ending too! I was drawn in to the main character, Charlie's, world which was rapidly changing throughout the story and I felt lost with her, but also felt found with her. The author paints vivid scenes and emotions with her words and the chapters end in a way that makes you want to keep reading to know more. I really hope there's a sequel coming soon!!

This book had me from the start. I was up all night reading,once I started I couldn't put it down. I feel like these characters are so relatable and genuine. It's like reading Louisa May Alcott or Jodi Picoult, the characters are timeless and the settings so vivid. The themes of the book are so current and poignant. This book will leave you wanting to reach for it again. I feel like these characters will be with me forever.

I was so engrossed in this book that I can't stop talking about it. I was so caught up in not just the main characters but the Ladies of Edgevale House. This book is so good at making you see things from someone else's point of view. I want so badly to read it again already. I like how the chapters are set of this book so if I feel I want to revisit a certain situation they are easy to find. I love that I want to discuss this book with others and also want to keep it as a treasure. Do yourself a favour and read this book with friends.
