My Thoughts - Story

OK – I had a really hard time rating this book because when I first finished it, I thought “OK, maybe a 4 because it was slow starting”….but then after I thought about it and how everything came together, I was like…”I’m bumping this up to a 4.25 because it was so heart-felt”….

So, as I try to write this review now, I am torn about how to rate this – to this day, I can’t get this story out of my head and all of the characters in the story. Normally, I read a book and within a few days, I completely forget the story-line unless I go back and start re-reading…but this book – it’s been almost a month and I still keep thinking about it.

Not just about being a big Amy Harmon fan…this story by the end really touched my soul and it still does to this day. Yes, it was slow – yes, I was second guessing a few times about asking for an ARC…but by the time I was done, I forgot all about it and focused on the feels I was experiencing after closing down the book.

I am not going to write about the characters or the story – I’m just gonna leave you with a word of advice.

Give this book a chance and don’t give up – it’s worth it.
