Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

I mostly enjoyed this book. You go between the two main characters - Stella, the mother from the past and then Eve, the daughter from the current time. I definitely find myself wanting to dive back in to see what happened, which is always a good sign the book is doing its job!

The story was slow at parts but I did enjoy the characters.& felt a connection with them. The husband could have been a bit more developed - some of the details regarding him seemed extraneous.

I did figure out the end before it happened but still very much enjoyed the story. Plus, I figured it out later than I usually do for most books - as it was happening - so I'd still call that a win for the author.

If the author chose to do another book that included the story of what happened after the fire, I would love to read it to see where the character went during that time (beyond what is mentioned).
