I absolutely loved this book. It moved me to tears on three different occasions.
Having grown up in Missouri during a portion of the timeline of this book makes it even more meaningful, but more importantly the way it shows different types of love is absolutely beautiful. Not only is there love, there is compassion, regret, grief, pain, and passion. I could not have asked for a more meaningful and moving 600+ page read.

An excellent book! Very good character development and lots of twists and turns in the plot. The chapters are short and sometimes direction changes quickly. A little hard to follow on audiobook, I think this one is better with the physical copy in hand.

As soon as I finished the book, all mysteries unraveled, I went back through it and was surprised by just how much is out in plain view once you know how to read it. Every thread that weaves together in the end is carefully placed hundreds of pages earlier, with skill and sleight of hand. This is definitely a book that rewards rereading.

 Great book that kept surprising me the whole way through. Some have said it was a page turner for them, and I wouldn’t say that. It dragged for me in many places. That’s why I took off a little points.
