I enjoyed this book - it had an intriguing plotline. I liked how it was switching between perspectives and timelines hearing from the grandmother in the past and the granddaughter in the present. It was a really interesting story, the plot twists were great, some I figured out and some I didn’t, but, regardless it was still really enjoyable.

emotional mysterious

5.0

This book made me gasp out loud at least twice while I was reading it - such a great twisty mystery. 

My one small complaint is that there are a shit ton of names to follow - thankfully I read on kindle so had to search character names a few times just to check. But that didn’t really take away my enjoyment of reading it, and I raced to the end.
