"Don't Go" by Lisa Scottoline is a Must Read! (UPDATED 7/3/13)

This is SO good!
Don't Go by Lisa Scottoline is about Mike Scanlon, an army doctor in Afghanistan who gets the awful news that his young wife is dead. Coming home, he finds out that his daughter does not even know who he is! He also discovers that the battles he has to face on the home front are more than he could have imagined.

This book is very hard to put down, a real page-turner with plenty of "Wow, I didn't see that coming" turns. The ending? Well, you have to read it to believe it! Books just don't get any better than this--a must read!

UPDATED 7/3/13:
Don’t Go by Lisa Scottoline is a good read about an army podiatrist who not only is a hero in Afghanistan, but also fights to become a hero on the home front in spite of being an amputee, his failing business, drug addiction, the death of his wife, and the custody battle for his baby daughter who doesn’t even know him. This book delves into issues vets have when coming home from seeing horrendous things in battle and the struggles they face. Dr. Scanlon has it tough but rises to the challenge after his passionate no-nonsense, kick-butt attorney, Stephanie, “lights a fire” under him and gets him back on track.

I enjoyed this book, it’s a good read and you can’t help but pull for the doctor to succeed and get to the bottom of things. I felt very sorry for him throughout the book; however, the suspense was kind of ruined by the book cover which gives away the ending. I think this would be a good book club read if done along the way because of the characters and the mystery of who killed the Doctor’s wife’s best friend.

  1. Hi Karen, Gerard!!
    Wow, this sounds like my cup of tea. Normal stories will go like this.."and the army's wife gets the telegram of her husband's death". However, this book is a twist of the normal story so it would be incredible as you said..Might look forward for this one. Thanks for sharing..=)

  2. This sounds incredibly touching, a bit of an emotional roller coaster. And like C said, a bit of a twist on the normal tale, but to be honest I think it's the more interesting story. Certainly there aren't many 'emotional drama' books out there written from the perspective of a soldier. Glad you liked this one!
