The only reason I didnt give this 5 stars was it felt like some of the relationships June had could've had a little more to expand upon.

I think this book would have been much better with about 200 more pages. The setting and atmosphere were gorgeous, but I wanted more development among the characters. With so many characters to balance, nothing really felt like enough.
Particularly with the relationships between June and Edgar or June and Tucker.

Not quite 4 stars but really did enjoy it! Theres something about all the different storylines and secondary characters that didn't feel fully developed to me, but Maggie's writing continues to be splendid and sucks me in regardless.
