I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but I don't think it was that. I wish we got more scenes of the girls in their school days, it would have made them all more sympathetic and would have made the twist more surprising. Especially Luc I wish we'd seen more of outside of his adult self and outside of Isa's rose colored memories of him. 

I loved the setting and I think the author did a really good job of making it seem warm and beautiful in the past, but grey and cold in the present. 

Iss dragging her baby up and down the coastline STRESSED me out!!!
