#BookReview: If You Must Know (Potomac Point #1) by Jamie Beck

Synopsis: Life turns upside down for two sisters in Wall Street Journalbestselling author Jamie Beck’s emotional novel about how secrets and differences can break—or bind—a family.

Sisters Amanda Foster and Erin Turner have little in common except the childhood bedroom they once shared and the certainty each feels that her way of life is best. Amanda follows the rules—at the school where she works; in her community; and as a picture-perfect daughter, wife, and mother-to-be. Erin follows her heart—in love and otherwise—living a bohemian lifestyle on a shoestring budget and honoring her late father’s memory with a passion for music and her fledgling bath-products business.

The sisters are content leading separate but happy lives in their hometown of Potomac Point until everything is upended by lies that force them to confront unsettling truths about their family, themselves, and each other. For sisters as different as these two, building trust doesn’t come easily—especially with one secret still between them—but it may be the only way to save their family.

Rating: ★★★
My Review: This had some great pacing about family.  The storyline was done very well and I really enjoyed the relationship of these sisters and their story.  The issues I had with this one was the ending. It felt like things were still unresolved for the most part and I wished that it would have had a little more romance.  Overall, if you read the description and think you might enjoy this one I would totally check it out. 

“Beck expertly captures the bickering between sisters, the pain of regret, and the thorny path to forgiveness. With well-realized secondary characters…and believable surprises peppered throughout, Beck’s emotional tale rings true.” —Publishers Weekly

“[Beck’s] heartwarming novel explores the sisterly bond with a touch of romance and mystery.” —Booklist

“In perfect prose, Jamie Beck weaves a story of two sisters at odds, relationships in peril, and lives turned upside down. A testament to the strength of family—and the beauty of forgiveness—If You Must Know is a summer read with staying power and a poignant reminder that what we need most will always find its way back to us.” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, bestselling author of Slightly South of Simple
