this was not at all what I was expecting after reading other carola lovering novels! this story follows Molly and Jake’s love story in one timeline and Molly’s present day life with Hunter and her daughter in another. we’re then introduced to Sabrina and we slowly learn her intentions through her own storyline. it contains discussions on first love, obsession, fertility struggles, and general domestic issues. i listened to this on audio and could not put it down. the twists weren’t overtly surprising, but the pacing of the reveals was strong and I continually wanted to know more. don’t go in expecting a thriller; this definitely leans closer to romantic suspense. i enjoyed my time reading this one!
