I've seen this title mentioned a few times on Bookstagram (* an Instagram account focused on books -- I like @meagansbookclub the best), and it was such a delight to read -- a great page-turner for the summer, a bit of a thriller but more like a novel with some really strong character development, not just plot.

I especially liked the alternating voices each chapter -- Rose through her diary entries and Fern through narration. There were just a couple of places where I had to suspend some reality, but I was all-in on this book and didn't want to quibble.

Will definitely seek out more by this author.
