This has been on my TBR for over a year, and I'm glad I finally got around to reading it but it definitely didn't live up to the hype that I'd given it. The book has three perspectives, two in the past and one in present day. While I did enjoy watching their stories becoming more intertwined as the book went on, I felt that their stories wrapped up quite quickly and I found them to be disappointing.

I really enjoyed this book! A lot more than I thought I was going to, based on the rating. I love the fact that it took us through the POVs of Caroline, Eliza and Nella and how it tied each of these women together, despite not really having anything in common.
I especially love how the end tied it all together with Caroline realizing that she found Eliza’s tincture bottle, it really just brought it all full circle.
Overall a fun read and would definitely recommend!

The idea behind this book is very intriguing but fell flat for me in the execution. Having three narrators, two in the past and one in the present was jarring. I found myself wanting to skip to the contemporary parts. The modern day character was the most interesting to me and the more mysterious part of the story, however this section often had to be rushed in order to make room for the past stories. I find myself wishing this book was different.
