This took me a little while because I was in a reading slump, but eventually I hit the point where the writing and characters were just SO compelling that I couldn’t put it down. Deftly jumps between time periods and narrators in a way that's easy to follow. The plot is woven intricately and it all comes together in a satisfying way at the end. I would read a sequel!!
