This book surprised me; it wasn’t what I expected. For about the first half, I couldn’t figure out what it was about, but then the mystery starts at part 2. From there I was hooked. The plot be twisting!! It’s a beach read — but a great one!

3.0

 So this book went in a totally different direction than j thought it would... It definitely wasn’t what I expected after reading the description, but I enjoyed it. Daphne was a decent character, but like lots of books, I would have enjoyed spending more time with other characters besides her. I also think the book just kind of ended without really tying up all the loose ends? I wish we had gotten more of an extended ending where we could have found out more about what happened and how things wound up for the other characters.
