![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon Eva gets pregnant again with a daughter, Celia. Franklin, Kevin’s father and Eva’s husband, does start to wonder if Eva is crazy or just resents their son somehow. The only person Kevin will stop screaming for is his father, as if Kevin knows if he makes Eva’s complaints seem outrageous then she herself will seem outrageous, or crazy. ![]() The baby, Kevin, is born a beautiful bouncing baby boy. Eva never really wanted to be a mother, so she figured she was just freaking herself out with this concern about something being “off” about her pregnancy. And immediately she could tell something was odd. They were in love, they made love, they had fantabulous adventures and since she was a traveling columnist, she had many adventures of her own! Until her husband started mentioning, and mentioning, and mentioning starting a family. The story begins with the mother, Eva, going on about her and her husband’s marriage. “We Need To Talk About Kevin” sucks in readers from the very beginning about a boy who born and from the very beginning his mother can tell something is “off.” But no one else sees it. “We Need To Talk About Kevin” is not for light reading before bed, nor is it the kind of book you flip through a few pages and forget all about it – this book will eat you alive.
