It's an easy light read if you enjoy thrillers. There are 2 time lines, but the main female character Sydney is only in the present day chapters. She is a bit clueless, really, and some of her decisions are questionable. Most of the book Sydney is looking for love. I  definitely didn't see the twist at the end of the book as I thought I had it all figured out.... er nope. All in all, it's a light entertaining read with several murders thrown in. Enjoyable and fun. Bought for an alternative February Valentines day read for a book club pick, but I ended up reading it in January. Great pick for an alternative Valentine read

Subpar writing. Annoying, judgmental, bigotted characters. Constant barrage of cringey comments.

my thoughts on this book can be summarized into one word: average. it was not bad, but it didn’t leave me feeling as satisfied as i had hoped. the characters were flat, the romance was forgettable, and while not slow-paced, i felt bored until the last 50-100 pages. that being said, i do recommend this book if you are looking for a plot twist that will leave you staring at the wall!
