I loved Noemi. She’s fierce and bright and a force of nature. The author weaves this story well. I hate to say it, but I started to doubt Noemi in the middle. It got me too. The story gets a tad slow right in the middle, but the ending is like rolling down a steep hill. I was right on the edge of my seat. And most importantly, it ends hopeful.
