There's enough mystery and questions as the book opens to hold readers attention with Greenwich Park. It wasn't as suspenseful or thriller-esc as I thought it would be. And the ending kinda leaves readers standing on a damp beach, on a midsummer day. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I would've liked it better if Helen's character got more out of it in the end, even if she was pregnant the entire book; other people were in more control of her life and the things happening around her than she was.

Overly descriptive on details that I didn’t feel added anything to the story or mood.  I also hated every character but one, but I guess that’ll happen in a story like this one…

I loved this book.

Although the action takes its time, everything kinda slowly evolves, this story is brilliantly written and keeps the reader hooked till the end. Think about twists and turns! This book has them all.

Usually, a book is a huge turn off for me when I cannot connect with any of the characters. Somehow, this story, these characters, are different. They are all very hateful, still I just kept reading because I could not put this book down.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It was an amazing read just in time to finish the year.
