ive seen mixed reviews for this one, so i was a little nervous going into it. but i had literally zero expectations, which is probably why i enjoyed it so much.
i was immediately hooked from the beginning. i think the pacing is spot on, the flashbacks are effective, the characters are relatable, and the plot is very straightforward. i really, really enjoyed how even though the mystery of the missing husband is at the forefront of the story, the growing bond between hannah and bailey is really worth reading.
the only blip would be the general ending - i dont think its very strong and i can understand why many readers are let down by it. its not really a thrilling ending, but suitable, if that makes sense. it fits the overall vibe of the story, so i personally dont mind it. i also loved the epilogue, so that helped me overlook it, as well.
overall, i enjoyed this much more than i thought i would and it definitely has me interested in picking up the authors other books!
↠ 4 stars

Some of the best books I've read I've gone into with little to no expectation. Great review, Jessica!

i totally agree! and its so hard to not have expectations, especially when a book has so much hype or really negative reviews. 🙈
I just started the audio book for this! So far I’m enjoying it
yay! so happy to hear that! i hope you continue to enjoy it! :)
You're right about the ending. I thought part 3 got very messy and it all sounded so unrealistic. But I very much enjoyed the first two parts.
Part 3 may have been the only part I enjoyed. Mystery is fine and all, but part 3 takes love and commitment to a whole new level that you don't see in the first parts. It was incredibly moving. I think many were disappointed with this book because they expected a thriller. I think it's better viewed as a love story.
