When you pick up a book written by Joyce Maynard, you can rest assured you will be taken on a well-crafted trip. This one, by Joyce Maynard, kept my attention through and through.
To Swift and Ava, he’s boring. Would definitely recommend. “Maynard’s latest is illuminating and mesmerizing, highlight not only differing definitions of friendship, but the shades of gray between right and wrong and the lengths to which some will go to protect their self-interest.” (
And Swift has promised Helen the services of a high-powered attorney to help her regain custody.
Maynard has published novels in a wide range of literary genres, including fiction, Maynard and Salinger exchanged letters.

And Swift has promised Helen the services of a high-powered attorney to help her regain custody. The only thing I did not like about this book was it ended too soon.
The double meaning of the book's title is brilliant.Under the Influence satisfied me beyond my expectations
