This book has all the elements for it to be great, but its uneven pacing left me disappointed. The first half of the book was too slow and didn't feel like it had much substance. When the secrets are revealed in the second half, it was too many too quickly.

Story of an unlikely friendship - slow to start but then k zoomed through it
Tanner was a relatable woman at the start of adulthood and Mrs wilt was a kooky but relatable elder navigating an adventure together
A mild mystery that wrapped up satisfyingly in the end
