A literary drama filled with family secrets and ambition, A Likely Story follows Isabelle Manning, the daughter of a bestselling New York author, as she struggles to make her own mark in the publishing world.
After the sudden death of her mother—the glue that held the family together—Isabelle’s life begins to unravel. As her father struggles to write his final book, Isabelle stumbles upon a hidden secret that could change everything she thought she knew about her past—and shape her future.
Leigh McMullan Abramson delivers a well-written story, but the unlikable characters and slow pacing made it difficult to connect with. While the themes of legacy and self-discovery are intriguing, this book may not be for everyone.
