Daunis is smart, funny, and determined. It was an amazing story filled with mystery and suspense and a dash of romance and humor. And the plot twists 🤯
Some parts were a little slow but I can't wait to read more from this author!

Very good book would definitely read again even though the page length is almost 500 pages. I feel as though this is the perfect length for the book and any shorter would have been a disservice. Very good book made me emotional love this book would definitely reread

I adore the main character's voice in this book. The story centers around some heavy topics but doesn't linger for too long on graphic details. This is balanced by humor, love, and culture.
