I adore this book. If I didn’t have a number of books to read right now I’d start it again to confirm if everything pieces neatly together as I suspect. To avoid spoiling anything, I’ll simply suggest you read the book if it sounds interesting to you. I feel the author has done a fantastic job telling this story and I honestly think it’s now one of my favorites. I look forward to reading more of her books!
