If I could give this book ten stars I would.
Kate is a master of measured emotional pacing, creating characters with beating hearts and situations that feel true to life and never contrived.
The characters felt raw and real, showing all the complexity of their frayed edges and best efforts and shortcomings and strengths.
The FMC Jess refers to their group as a four points of a compass, and truly the supporting characters were just as integral as the MCs.
This isn't just a romance. It's a family drama, a mystery, and an emotional reckoning.
With every book Kate has written I've been astounded at her ability to write characters that feel layered and true, and this book shows how she continues to hone and master her craft.
