Right off the bat, I'm going to start by saying this book was disappointing to me. I had to wait a very long time for this from my library. In the time I've been waiting, I've heard only good things about it. So maybe I just inflated it in my head. Maybe my expectations were too high. Tobe fair, I also didn't love Spells for Forgetting either. every other book, but these two i've read from this author, and they've been 4 or 5 stars, so I'm not sure what's happening! Maybe it's the venture into adult books, and my heart is just stuck in her YA era.

I didn't feel a connection with June, and I think that's where my downfall began. I wasn't attached to her current timeline, I had no interest in her family, I felt no sparks with the love interest, so the whole beginning of the book was pretty blah to me. 

It got a bit more interesting for me when we started diving into her family's history - and mystery, and I think I was starting to get into it. But it just never happened. This book never had that big moment for me where I found myself desperately searching for answers. It also never had that big love moment for me where my heart strings were tugged at. 

iit just didn't hold enough emotion at all. It just felt like these things were happening, and I was just reading it without anything behind it. 

The plot was interesting. The idea behind the locket was really great. I just didn't connect with this book. And I suppose that's bound to happen every once in a while.

Maybe I'll come back to it in a year when I'm feeling different and see if I have a different experience with it.
