I wasn’t impressed with this book, but I didn’t hate it either.

This was just ok. I was really excited to read it because I LOVED "Local Woman Missing", but this didn't keep my interest the same. It took me a few months to finish because I kept getting bored with the plot and writing...I'd pick it up and read something else for a bit. I'm glad I finished because I hate not finishing books, but could have done without reading :/

The writing was probably the most annoying to me, "she offered a half smile. She nods." Very simple throughout the book. I also felt like there was not a lot of depth to certain characters, like Christian was just annoyingly faithful and I would have LOVED to see Lilly's perspective throughout the book. Definitely think more could have been done
