I thought I would love how this was written but I actually found it tedious to read every to/from/date line. 

The ending confuses me
as to why Izzy takes the blame. That just doesn’t make sense. And it doesn’t make sense to me how everyone is just ok with Helen doing what she does, how Paige seems to not know anything about her own kid, or why Tish basically saw a ghost of Sam in Africa?


I wanted to love this book. I wanted to figure out the whodunnit of it all. But it mostly just left me with questions or anger. 

Bummed about this one.
