I will admit when I read the first few pages I wasn’t sure if I would like it. It didn’t grab me but then it did and my stars was I hooked. This book will tear your heart out, wring it every which way, put it back in and repeat. 

Early on Jewel’s character frustrated and angered me. She has so many secrets. Talk about a stressful life trying to keep them straight. I don’t envy those that live their life that way. Secrets take so much out of you and they always come out. 

Shelby seemed so content to live her life hiding behind others whether it was a friend or her daughter. I enjoyed watching her bloom. 

I have so much I want to say but I don’t want to ruin the book with any spoilers. Let yourself fall into this magnificent story and soak it in. 

Thank you Brenda Novak Book Club for bring this book to my attention.
