I will start by saying this book is far out of my comfort zone but I’m so glad I took a leap of faith and picked it for my bookclub. The story and characters captivated me from the beginning and I found myself up reading late at night to see what happened next. The tale of a quirky found family mixed with an adventurous game of nostalgic childhood memories and books was the perfect mix. I wish we would’ve heard a little more details about the games or even some POV chapters from the other contestants but that is just personal preference. Overall, a wonderful read and one that I believe will stick with me for awhile!
