This book has been on my TBR list for years; it was there for so long that I began to dread actually reading it. It took time for me to come to enjoy the story and the characters, but once I did, I really enjoyed reading about their stories.
Seeing how people’s actions changed in the present despite not being able to change the past was the biggest takeaway for me; it taught me that you truly don’t know everything about someone and that they can always change.
This was definitely a quick but enjoyable read.
