Such a great novel! Roberts brings all the feels and all the mystery and you can't help but be pulled in. One of the finest representations of (child) abuse I've seen, too. Zane and Darby's relationship isn't life-changing or particularly dramatic but it was still really sweet and I loved getting a glimpse into their lives.
