It took me a while to listed though this book (audio-book). The two biggest takeaways were about the Win-Win and sharpening the saw.

I feel that if I read it I might have been able to focus on some more aspects better.

Wow! I think this book really wrote well about human emotions... on many levels.
- Sibling relationships
- Parent Dynamics (on-top of cultural dynamics)
- Assault
- Loss and grief
- Trauma
- Guilt

Not a book I would usually pick up, but it was a great read, lots of suspense and took you through some turns. It still left me with some questions at the end, but I think any Mystery/Thriller does.

Great book - but I feel like the ended could have used a bit more oomph. The whole book was leading up to it, so we could assume what was going to happen.

I couldn't keep straight all the names of all the husbands, but luckily it didn't matter too much, but it really showed what people will do for fame - and although this is a story, I'm sure others could relate to parts of it.

What a reminder of how not everyone in your life is truthful and trustworthy.

This book makes you think you have it figured out… until you realize you absolutely do not. This book had me intrigued but didn’t have me on the edge of my seat grasping at the next page.

Love Love Love this series. I couldn't believe there was another book!

This series doesn't disappoint, it tugs at my heart strings. It's one of those books that you can't wait to get to the next page, but you don't want it to finish. The pages made me laugh and cry and that's all I ever want from a book.

I'm so glad the author explored Marie's side and continued the story line. It's what the character deserved and let the story continue. I've never thought about visiting Alaska until this series, and I think I now want to dog sled!

I enjoyed the different storylines it followed - I wish I could have dove deeper into some others and obviously I enjoyed some people's stories better than others. But I really enjoyed this book and I would read it again!

I enjoyed reading this book - which made me want to read it... but I thought the story line was a little too far fetched. I thought it could even be split into 2 stories as there was a lot in this book and some was hard to follow. I enjoyed the style of writing.

I would recommend to read it - but no need to move it to first on your list.
