Many thanks to NetGalley for a chance to read and review this book. I have The Handover by David M. Bennett three out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
For the first half of the book, I found it quite hard to connect with the characters, writing style and the dual stories that were unfolding although there was the mystery part of the book which kept me going. I was very intrigued to find out this big secret Daisy has been keeping since she was nine years old.
As I kept reading, I started to enjoy this story a lot more and liked reading about Daisy and Nate. I loved the setting of the museum and the various lessons learnt throughout the book.
Definitely mixed emotions on how I felt throughout reading this book but overall it was an averagely enjoyable book to have read.
