5.0

I loved this book!  It was a page turner and I found the characters to be so endearing.  

I pretty much read exclusively ‘sad’ books (I don’t try to, it just ends up that way) and this was one of two books I read in 2023 out of like 20 so far where I bawled at the end.  (The other was Project Hail Mary) 

So good! Would recommend!

This book made me ugly cry

Really enjoyed this book. This hit a lot of my favourite themes: redemption, family, beautiful setting and a complex protagonist. I loved the bond between Cooper and Finch. The book was also varied: hopeful yet tense, reflective yet dramatic. The ending was very powerful and moved me to tears. The story was great and the emotional impact of this book was powerful. The only reason I'm not scoring it higher is because the prose style, whilst straightforward like the protagonist, was neither bad nor outstanding. Overall, excellent read!

With all of the content warnings that I even added, you would think this is a book of horror. But I finished the book thinking, that the story was more about love, what you'll do for your children, especially in the midst of so much trauma.

I went into this blind, but thought it was going to be more of a fast paced thriller. However, this book was a slow paced suspense with very few characters but well developed character arcs. This book kept me guessing as to who was telling the truth and who was good or bad. By the end, I was very invested in the characters and could feel the physical emotion the characters were going through.

I liked this book. Very atmospheric and I liked the characters. It just wasn’t as *shocking* as many other people are saying.
