Mercury by Amy Jo Burns is a story that shows the dysfunction of family in a pretty dysfunctional small town in Pennsylvania. ![]()
![]()
When Marley comes to town with her single mother, she is the one that sets the crux of the book in motion. Her power over the Joseph boys is remarkable and her maturity at this young age was immense. She seemed to be omnipresent at times because she got into all of the Joseph families heads. ![]()
![]()
The author’s strength is in her multi-layered character building. I felt like a knew each character quite well. I found the discord between Elise and Marley to be incredibly well written. They were the adage of: so close and yet so far.![]()
![]()
Themes of mental illness, egotistical misogyny, sibling relationships, motherhood, and mystery were all woven through the storyline. Book clubs will get a good discussion out of this one.![]()

Miss your smile. Miss your face. Miss your calls. Miss your laughter. Miss your honesty. Miss you telling me what I needed to hear when I was too fragile to hear it. Miss you telling me the hard truths when I couldn't see straight. Miss not celebrating our birthdays together. I just plain miss you. Enjoy your lemon drop 🍸 in Heaven.
