This book moves at a leisurely pace, and the plot doesn’t exactly break new ground. The writing itself is solid, but I never found myself itching to dive back in. In the end, it felt more like a background palette cleanser than a page-turner. That said, not every book needs to keep you on the edge of your seat, so don’t be hesitant to pick this one up. If you love stories of found family & resilience, this is a good fit. 

Thanks to Brilliance Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy!
