Hannah Morrissey’s writing is so lyrical and beautiful. I was hesitant to pick up the book but I’m glad I did. I want to read her other books! There were parts of the story that frustrated me, mainly the disconnect between Rowan and Axel. I know this was intentional. Libby’s perspective was a conflicting read but ultimately her character is misunderstood. This was a great mystery thriller and I wish more books were written like this.
