There’s so much uncertainty surrounding this story especially surrounding the people from Owen’s past and what he meant to them and vice versa. (It brought me some confusion too about Owen’s choices surrounding Olivia and “Lady Paul”.) However, one thing is for sure. Hannah and Bailey were such strong characters and two of the best fictional characters, so despite the circumstances, their growing relationship was my favorite part of the book! It helped me push through the climax. Also, I can’t wait to see Jennifer Garner as Hannah in the upcoming show adaptation of this book! I was picturing Jennifer Garner as Patty before I knew the casting, but I’m even more excited! I see this is definitely the role for her now.

Great engaging story. 
From the first moment you’re on this journey with Hannah to figure out what is going on with her husband. 

I truly enjoyed the way Hannah and Bailey were written & how you can feel both their despair and hope during this adventure.

I do think the third act of the book felt rushed and not as developed as the start but overall enjoyable.

Very good. Gets you hooked right away and the ending is satisfying. The characters sometimes feel unrealistic but over very good.
