This book was really long, but I didn’t really want it to end. It had many elements that made it appealing to me. I like the writing style, and how we learn details from random people in the book overhearing tidbits or gossiping. I like the characters and their unique styles and relationships, and the funny personality of Joy. I like the mystery which was the center of the book. Being a tennis player, I liked the running tennis theme. And there was even the reality of the pandemic that makes the last few chapters. I recommend it!

Good but not great. I liked the twists and turns but it was a bit long and the ending just didn't feel super satisfying. The pet eating the paper!!???

This was an entertaining book. I liked the way the plot unfolded going back and forth in the timeline. It was a bit too far-fetched the way things resolved and I felt like the last couple chapters were unnecessary and ruined the book for me a bit (esp typing in Covid randomly?). Although I did love Savannah’s final chapter.

wow!

This was an emotional roller coaster … it was a thriller, chick lit, wholesome. Definitely the best read of the month, one of my top reads this year.
