This had so much potential to be at five star read, but it was overly drawn out over decades. Not the typical mystery thriller. 300 pages could have been omitted easily. The writing itself was beautiful and heartbreaking but a lot of it was unnecessary. I literally read 18 books in between finishing this book because I kept having to set it down because I got so bored. I almost DNF’ed too many times to count

This is by far SLOWWWW paced FYI.

Also, saint deserves sooo much better. Disappointing. Didn’t even end how I hoped. And Patch and Grace didn’t even end up together. It’s super unrealistic that the doctor stayed in prison for 20 years and allowed himself to almost be put to death for a crime he didn’t even commit because of HIPAA that doesn’t even come into account since the patient was dead. Also there’s mandatory reporting for rape, especially statutory rape as healthcare workers. Moronic.
