FIVE STARS. WOW. This is easily the best book I’ve read so far this year. Rich, engrossing mystery, intriguing family drama, compelling character voice, believable conclusion. There were little critiques here and there - sometimes it felt like she was shoving things down the reader’s throat, a tad - but I literally couldn’t put it down and read it all in a single sitting. LOVE!

Love love loved this book. A though provoking mystery but also so much insight. I would actually love a version of this book from Eugene’s point of view

This book was too long. I appreciate the message but it feels like too much was going on - mysterious diss appearance, happiness philosophy, disability awareness…for me it didn’t gel
