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.

medium-paced

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!
