What I Liked:

• I liked how this story was told and how the characters connected.
• I loved the settings.
• Great pacing!
• LOVED the message this one had. It followed the #MeToo movement in a classy, tactful way and left the reader with a strong, important message about this movement.

What I Didn't Like/Wanted More Of:

• Honestly, I didn't love the ending. It just didn't feel like it fit. 
• A little repetitive and the alternating timelines got to be a little confusing.

You Should Read If You Like:

• Powerful messaging in books

Please read TW's before picking this one up.
