I really enjoyed reading this and getting to see Jess and Adam's relationship grow over the short time they were around each other. Having this new relationship layered with the issues Jes and her sister were dealing with made this even better and more believable to a real life situation. I was satisfied with the ending but wish I got more in the epilogue.

This is different than what I’m used to with this author. This follows a podcast journalist and a woman whose mother fell in love with a con man and abandoned her to raise her little sister.  The general plot is a very uncomfortable roadtrip to find answers. It’s slow moving but compelling. The insta-love was frustrating to me, but the author did a good job of conveying their undeniable connection. It’s a complicated story, and the ending is less important than the journey.

Tried to listen to it but couldn’t follow. Too many different people talking.

Interesting intersection of true crime podcast with a road trip and a romance plus women's fiction level family drama along for the ride.

This was good after the first several chapters, the intro was a little slow and awkward.
