One of my first five star reads of the year, this was a fantastic book! There’s romance, but that’s not the focal point, and there’s mystery, but that’s also not the focus. It’s kind of a coming of age novel for a 38-year old main character through looking back at her childhood/young adulthood trauma. And the self growth!! Loved that it was an ‘older’ FMC.
