I loved this book! It was an awesome blend of historical fiction mixed with a modern day timeline. I loved how the two timelines paralleled each other, and I love the sense of mystery throughout the book, even at the end with a few questions left unanswered. I really enjoyed Caroline’s character development, though I wish the author would have flushed out the process a little bit more because it was such a big change for Caroline but took place over just a couple days. I am so excited to read more from this author!
