This book was a quick, easy & good read! I also wonder if this is what prompted me to finally watch big little lies on HBO lol idk similar themes in a way? Characters ish? 

Enjoyed this and while I kinda wish there was a different end, I think it was pretty good overall.

3.0

 Not exactly gripping. But it was an okay story.

Claire Cook is running from her abusive husband. And Eva is running from her past. the two meet each other in an airport bar, and in the last minute, the decide to switch tickets.

Don't get me wrong. Alternating POVs, and Women Empowerment? Sign me up! Ultimately, I did not find myself rooting for Eva. And Claire's story fell really short. There wasn't a ton of character development, and the ending was abrupt.

Overall, this was an okay, quick read, with a few interesting twists.

Wow this book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The ending was so unexpected (I finished it on my work break and may or may not had to hold back tears so I didn’t look like a crazy person 😝). But I loved the writing style and learning about what both Claire and Eva were running from. Both those women were so beautifully written and I really enjoyed the stress I was feeling for both of them, surprisingly.
