Possibly the best book I’ve read all year. The author draws you in with her believable characters. The story is unique and had me rooting for Bonita Faye until the very end!
Not very believable, but entertaining.
It took me a bit in the beginning – but persevered and turned out to be an enjoyable read. Different than the usual for the story line but interesting. I think part of what was a challenge for me is the small town setting – unfamiliar territory. But I definitely enjoyed the full story with twists.
