From good reads:

Sometime reality is beyond all imagination When you play the game, stretching the borders, you can get lost and forget the rules.

Naomi leads a so-called peaceful life. She lives in a lovely apartment in the center of Tel Aviv with her loving, supporting husband and their two teenage children, works for a daily newspaper, and in her free time concentrates on art. But all this isn’t enough when her entire world is turned upside down one evening after which she’s drawn into a maelstrom of emotions and urges, lies and enigmas. Secrets from the past surface and merge with new ones, and Naomi discovers she’s living a complex life with parallels in several worlds: the people closest to her are also hiding from her their secrets and abusing her trust.

˃˃˃ Forgiveness, absolution, and feelings of guilt

Stretching the Borders raises questions about the essence of forgiveness, absolution, and feelings of guilt, as they face secrets and lies, some less white than others. The threads wrap around each other in a conflict solved only through a process of an agonizing journey, which doesn’t always achieve its desired comfort.

˃˃˃ Painstaking exposing of feelings

With a sharp scalpel and piercing sensitivity, Yael Shachnai invades her protagonist’s soul, painstakingly exposing the feelings and thoughts hiding behind the pretty clothes and carefully applied makeup, while also bravely and honestly scrutinizing concepts such as happy families, relationships, family dinners, protective motherhood, loyalty, and love.

My opinion:

I have to say i really enjoyed this book. I have never read anything by Yael Shachnay. It was a great read and i liked it. The Main Charter is Naomi(also my youngest daughters name) she is a typical woman loves art and cooking works for a newspaper company, she is married and is a mother. She becomes quite bored with her everyday life and seeks out some excitement which she realizes way to late is not as great as she thought it would be. She soon finds herself living a double life full of nothing but secrets and lies and cant seem to find her way out. Does it hurt more to tell the truth or hold it all in?

 I was hooked from the first chapter and could not put it down i highly recomend this book and i am so happy i was able to have the chance to read it for review. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
