What an incredible read!! I loved the way Weir slowly unfurled the plot— giving us just enough backstory when needed, but not so much that the arc would immediately become obvious. The three narrators were a perfect choice for this book. All equally lovable, all equally flawed. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
