On the Inside Looking Out By Lakaii Richardson
A Review By: NJH
per·spec·tive (noun): One's point of view determined by beliefs, environments, and experience. Everyone has one...but is it right? Should everyone trust their own perception? After all, it is how you see things....
Kennedi Westbrook has beaten all odds. Statistically, she was destined to be a failure. However, she proved statistics wrong by becoming a sought-after psychiatrist and owner of Healthy Minds, a counseling and psychiatric practice in downtown Atlanta. To many, she is the personification of a perfect woman, only because no one knows of her greatest affliction...her mental illness.
Mitchell, Kennedi’s husband, is wealthy, business savvy, well-groomed, and confident. However, he also has major issues. Although he could never pay for a better family and lifestyle, perception has clouded his judgment and forced him to see if he still has it. Far removed from the dating game, Mitchell makes an amateur decision to flirt with danger, risking his most valued possession...his family. Young, beautiful, and sexy, Sydney was unemployed, insecure, and nearly homeless before she met the father of her unborn twins. Now her only struggles are learning to adjust to her new surroundings and figuring out how to rekindle the extinguished flame between them.
Determined to prevent life as a single mother, she will do anything to live life on her terms. The three each have close friends who all have different perspectives, secrets, and influences of their own, which makes all situations more difficult. On the Inside Looking Out is a whirlwind of blackouts, nightmares, abuse, jealousy, broken spirits, secrets, and lies that won’t stop until perceptions and perspectives are tested.
