While the story of this book was interesting, I felt like it was too short with very little character development. With the double timeline, there wasn’t a chance to get invested with them both. Overall, it was still a quick read, but it left me wanting more.

A good read, although I felt the beginning of the book was stronger than it was towards the end.

Definitely in the 3.5 territory. The resolution (if there even was one) felt very rushed compared to the rest of the book and the pacing was a bit all over the place throughout. But I did get drawn into both the storylines, but don't entirely understand why the 1999 storyline was required. I'd have preferred a bit more fleshing out of the 1929 story.

I liked the original story line, but felt like it ended somewhat abruptly. I kinda want to reread this book already. Favourite quote was falling out of love is different to letting go of the pain
