Book Review: Dominoes by Phoebe McIntosh

Dominoes by Phoebe McIntosh

Book Summary.

DOMINOES Phoebe McIntosh Layla must decide. It could cost her the man of her dreams. Layla loves Andy. There’s something special about him and she can’t wait to marry him. There’s just one problem…his ancestors may have owned her ancestors. And it doesn’t mean as much to Layla as it would to her friends and family, who are deeply rooted in her life. After being confronted with this point of contention Layla must decide if she cares, if it matters, and if she will investigate its validity. We follow along as she makes each decision and solidifies her future.

The Review.

Invisibility is discussed, marriage in these current times is evaluated and the reality of Layla and Andy’s history is explored. Parts of the novel worked for me while other parts did not. I feel like it raised interesting but easily answerable questions. Exploring the topic from one aspect was interesting, however, I wished we could’ve had some alternating perspectives to deepen the conversation. I wish we could’ve heard from Andy a little more. And a friend with a different opinion could’ve gone a long way. I’m curious as to what Phoebe McIntosh writes next. If these topics sound interesting to you, you should check out DOMINOES. Out Now!
