My Review

When you forget to review this book because it’s another ruined marriage kind of book…

Oh, I absolutely relished the intricate storyline and the captivating ‘whodunit’ element, but let me tell you, I was practically seething at how Adam behaved! I mean, honestly, the man’s under house arrest and what’s he doing? Trying to play detective. It’s as if he completely missed the memo on responsible adulting. My heart went out to Sarah, that poor, hardworking woman, practically raising a man-child.

But let’s talk about that ending, shall we? It hit me like a whirlwind. Blink, and suddenly we’re at the end. I must say, I found it a tad abrupt and it left me craving more. I mean, can you blame me? After investing all that time and emotion, a longer/ more descriptive finale was in order!

This was my second Kindle book! Kindle Haul coming soon.

I’ve always believed the eyes cannot lie. They hold the truths we are unable or unwilling to speak. Her eyes full, large, and bursting with pain.

My mother made me wise, made me independent, made me learn how to fight for myself.
