Wow, once you get into this one there’s a lot to unpack!
It is a little slow going but once you get into it, it’s all consuming. A heavy read with a powerful plot, diverse/inclusive characters and a story line that will keep you on your toes. A multi genre book that you will not forget.
The book starts with the day of Lily’s death and how Asher has been accused with murder. With every chapter it alternates from past to present, gaining insight, information and how Lily and Olivia came to New Hampshire to seek refuge. These parts of the story could both help or hinder with Asher’s innocence. When it’s all laid out on the table it’s up to a jury yo decide whether Asher is a violent man, capable of injuring the girl he loved or was their something in Lily’s past that could have caused an accident this severe.
