I started this book on vacation and really only got the chance to read like 10 pages at a time. Eventually I hit a point where I couldn’t put it down and found myself trying to read it as often as possible and then BAM- I hit the third act and could not put it down. Is THE ONLY ONE LEFT soapy and silly? Yes. Did I have to suspend a looooot of disbelief throughout? Also yes. Did I mind having to do any of that to enjoy this novel? Not one bit! As an avid fan of telenovelas, I was fully strapped in for this story and the third act full of shocks and twists had me squealing gleefully until the very last twist which left me with more than a few tears in my eyes. If you’re into gothic mysteries, you will devour this book. It was an excellent beach read!
