This book has many of the same flaws as Crawdads and Lost Apothecary. Don’t write dual POV — especially split by time — if you can’t make both characters strong. This story was longer than it needed to be and
the present-day love story between Avery and Trent truly made me roll my eyes. She didn’t need to be engaged to Elliott to make this plot line exist
I definitely skimmed portions of this because I simply… didn’t care that much. Characters fell flat.
