Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of The Unraveling Of Julia.

Absolutely loved this story. The Unraveling Of Julia is a very profound book. It dove deep into life, loss, and love. It had you reflecting on your family, your life, your loved ones who have passed. 
I enjoyed all the many quotes from the book. The deep meaning behind them. My favorite would have to be ‘She famously lifted her skirt, showed them her privates, and said, “ kill him, I can make more!” ‘ 
Julia is walking home from dinner with her husband when he is murdered right in front of her. Grieving her loss she doesnt leave the apartment due to the murderer still on the loose. Going as far as the mailbox she receives a letter stating she has inherited millions and a villa in Italy. Having no idea who this person is that left her this estate and inheritance, she makes a plan to travel to find out if it could possibly be her biological family. What she discovers is something she’s always wanted. But with men following her every move and people getting hurt around her could it lead back to the murder of her husband all the way back to the states?
