- it was gripping to read and I really enjoyed my time with it
- initially I was hesitant because I usually avoid books with child abuse however it was written in a way that didn’t make it overly triggering despite it being very dark
- Saint was fantastic and I loved her character, as well as Misty and Charlotte - some strong female leads among other loveable characters
- the ending wrapped things up nicely
Things I didn’t like about this book:
- this book was long and even though I liked it, it almost felt like 2 books in one
- I really didn’t like the authors style. While it was descriptive and beautiful in many ways, there were also large gaps that did all get filled together but made it really difficult to read.
-There were also a lot of names of characters and it was often hard to follow. In fact it being difficult to follow is my main critic of the book.

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.
