Excellent book I couldn’t put it down, I will recommend it
Very different book. Not what I was expecting.
Great read
So-so book
It was a fast read, kept me interested, thought it could have been a really great book if author would have went more in depth to the ( behind closed doors situations ). Almost as if she were allowed only so many pages so she had to keep it short.
Loved it great talent wonderful writer
Kinda slow and predictable but easy reading
Could not put it down. It’s heartbreaking in many ways and great to see that woman can survive abuse. Great story.
Good read
Truly a book that brings you into the fray!
Highly overrated…
It was a downer and depressing book. I know all books can’t be happy or intriguing but this book had no redeeming value
Good read about family and relationship disfuntion.
I loved this book!
Good read, hard to get into it for me, but glad I did. This is a good book with a twist at the end.
I have a mixed review on this book. At times it was hard to follow which character was which. At times I relaxed into it and other times it was awkward. This is one I think you will either like or hate it.
It was recommended to me by a friend. And I also read that if you are a Liane Moriarty fan you would like this book. I was not disappointed it was a really good book. I gave it a 4 out 5 stars because I did expect a little more drama towards the end. But all in all I really liked this book. If I could I would have given it 4.5 stars.
One of my most lovable Romance book, a real page-turner.
This is the first time I read this author. I cannot wait to read another book by her. I enjoyed it very much.
Interesting family dynamics and the secrets they keep. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
