Really enjoyed the novel, especially the way Lily’s chapters were written. It dragged a bit in the last quarter, but otherwise would recommend. Audiobook narration was excellent.

This book was extremely difficult to put down. I found myself desperate to uncover the truth, and to understand the characters. Going into it, I was unaware of what the book would end up being about and was taken by surprise! I think the authors handled the story quite well and it's one I won't be forgetting any time soon.

This book was wonderful - I read a couple comments before reading it and I was blown away with all the negative reviews. I still wanted to dig in and see! I loved this books, it was a classic love story that ends in tragedy. So many twists, turns and bumps. You learn so much and your heart bursts. Beautifully written and very interesting. I can't recommend it enough.
