It took me a while to get into this book. Halfway through, it was getting interesting. Lots of secrets and unspoken words between almost everyone. The plot and storyline felt a bit all over the place. I didn't feel for any of the characters. Then, to finish with an ending like THAT?!?

Audiobook
Book club book. Ending was a little underwhelming. Became surprisingly invested in the characters overall.

Giving it 5 stars purely based on how emotionally invested I was in this book, and despite the fact that both this and Brooklyn ended in such an unsatisfying fashion and could have gone on for another 100 pages at least
