This was my second Kristin Hannah book and I think I enjoyed it more than the first (The Nightingale.) This book is set in the modern world, and some of Hannah's melodramatic character development kind of molds more to this. Or maybe this is only true in my perception.

Overall, I couldn't put this book down. I stayed up until 3am reading and then read all day. It's emotional, and offers some deep discussions about forgiveness between families, friends, and with ourselves.

It can be emotionally triggering to people who have lost someone in a car accident. I got a little choked up, but the author does a fairly good job at showing all of the levels of grief.
