Oh my what a book! This did not turn out the way I imagined but in the most positive way ever. I stayed up late to finish this book and that is something I never do, because good sleep is very important to me. I felt super tense and anxious the whole time reading because I did not know how the story was going and some events were very unsettling. I loved the different POV's and timelines and they just entangled the story perfectly. The characters were absolutely brilliant and raw. I felt hate, empathy, hope, sadness, every emotion possible. This book was amazing and I can't recommend it enough! It's not a super fast paced thriller with lot of action, it is more a the unraveling of events that refer to the story of the male and female MC. If that sounds like something you would enjoy go for it! That was an great start to my 2023 reading year!

The writing was beautiful and I loved the descriptions. I feel the author adequately depicted the true raw emotions of the story. I just wish there was a bit more tying up at the end. All the questions were answered but there were parts that felt rushed and I feel could have used just a bit more. I don’t want to give any spoilers away, so if you’d like to discuss please feel free to message me.
