"I think I would've enjoyed this book more if I'd read it in a couple of sittings. It started so slowly, and a little too abstractly--I was craving details long before they came along. It's also hard to read about folks dealing with recent deaths. Still, I'm excited to read another of her novels."
"Thanks Judy! This is a page turner. I enjoyed the different perspectives throughout the book, kept me reading chapter after chapter. Finished it in two days."
