This was not my favorite Kristin Hannah book that I've read, but it was a solid "pretty okay". I really loved the story of the 3 friends far more than I enjoyed the added narrative of the mom. I really did not like or empathize with her character until the last 30 pages. The way she was set up in the first half of the book just did not bode well for me to relate or make her choices after tragedy make sense. The end was also wrapped up incredibly quickly for me.
