I will offer the disclaimer that the feelings I have about this book are more about me as a reader than the book. I think there are a group of humans who will love this, but for me, it was emotionally heavier than I was expecting. I found that a lot to process, however I can also appreciate the way this component part of the story around family secrets was built, especially as the truth was revealed. 

I do always love a story of a woman finding her way even when that restart is hard, and I especially love a hometown return, so those pieces of this one were great for me. This was a story that was easy to read and well-told, but again, be ready for some feels when you jump in. Thanks to the publisher for the early look at this June 2024 release!
