TW: mentioned death of a child, alcoholism, brief panic attacks, mentions of suicidal thoughts,

First off, I’m a little late with this review. The book is already out but nonetheless I’m happy to finally get this arc done. Thank you Netgalley and publishers for giving me this chance.

Second, I always suggest reading the book before reviews unless it’s for trigger warnings. Something I may like , may not be something you like. So yeah..

Now onto the story! We start off with Molly, who’s had lost one of her three children. Now dealing with the grief. The last thing we see is that she supposedly runs away. Throughout the whole book we’re switching from the past to the current with her daughter Nicole. I really like this. Rarely do I read books with POV shifts . Although it does get confusing at times. But on one side we’re dealing with mom and on the other we’re dealing with the daughter.

As I’m reading it, at first it was slowly gripping my attention but as I restarted it from the beginning and really focused in everything happening. It really caught and kept my attention.

I loved the pacing and overall the voices of each character. The themes are interesting, and yet compelling. It’s something I haven’t really read in a story before. Not saying they aren’t stories covering this. I’m saying it’s something I’ve never personally read.

Anyway, I’m really glad I read this. From beginning, middle and end it was such interesting and joyful experience. Still a huge fan of the authors work and I can’t wait to see more.
