The plot twist that Maya killed Lilly was NOT what I expected and I did not love that at all. I kind of hated it, in fact. I kept waiting for the fathers to be held accountable! I was SURE that Lilly’s father was the murderer and I was so deeply disappointed that he did not come back to be served justice. Also, where was Braden at the end? I was grateful not to see more of him than we already did, but I could not believe that he would have been more involved all along the way.
I enjoyed the references to the bees but at times, it did feel a bit forced and somewhat overdone. And I wanted Olivia and Mike to hook up … but that plot line didn’t get a ton of careful attention.
Truly a well-written book. For the most part, the pacing was masterful. It dragged at a few points during the trial … but then again: that is real.
Thank you to both authors for this impressive work.
