I’ve seen a lot of ⭐️⭐️ star reviews that point out similar things. I wasn’t a fan of the pacing of the book and how the story was stretched. Honestly this could have been 200 pages less and still had the same impact. There were also hints at plot or story that was never addressed or the author forgot about. Unpopular option was that I didn’t like the niece. The cussing got on my nerves…a 6 years old curing like a pirate. No ma’am. I wish Shay had more faith in herself instead of constantly belittling herself after something good happened. It was almost too depressing to read, and annoying. This is just my personal opinion as I know this is a highly rated book.
