I really like the multiple view points and the story was very good. The half star deduction was for the predictable ending, but I did shed a couple happy tears for Mia reuniting the the being that loved her most.

Worth the read, no crazy plot twists or real suspense thriller here.

This book sounded interesting (yay marketing!), but didn’t quite deliver for me. I liked that it was an easy read, but it felt a little bit like something I might turn in for a creative writing assignment and get back a lot of “show, don’t tell” comments. The characters had potential but never developed beyond flat cliches. It was fine for light beach reading, I guess.

This was an okay read. At first I thought this was going to be a V interesting thriller. Had a great start - multiple storylines that I was trying to figure out how they tied together, but I ended up figuring it out like 30% in. This was predictable, underwhelming, and I thought the dialogue was incredibly boring.

I listened to this on Audible. I was engrossed in it. I wasn't really surprised by a lot but that did interfere with my level of enjoyment The narration was also very good.
