A slow burn

Revisado: 12-05-24

The only reason this book didn't get five stars from me was because it took a little bit to warm up. The beginning was very slow and I was becoming disappointed in a book from my favorite author. I didn't really care for the characters in the beginning, it took a long time to get to the meat of the story, but when it did... oh boy! By the end of the book I couldn't put it down and I was sobbing. The ending of this book was more than I could have hoped.

lost interest halfway through

Revisado: 05-11-24

The premise of this book sounded promising. but it never fully developed into what I had expected the book to be. there was a element of the supernatural but not enough to make it supernatural. The characters were likable and but the transformation of Celie wasn't believable. there wasn't enough conflict in the book to make it engaging enough to want to know what was going to happen next. I like a book that has good feelings and warm fuzzies but it would have been better if they were set off by a little more conflict

Slow start

Revisado: 03-14-24

I'm not sure if the twists at the end made up for the very drawn out set up.

A must read!

Revisado: 02-27-24

This is one of those books that will stay with me. The pain, the loss, the healing, the love and the friendships are so real and poignant. Never, have I contemplated the plight of the women in Vietnam until now. I love to learn when I read, and this book not only taught me something, it inspired me. Please read it.

Disappointing

Revisado: 12-15-23

The one thing I can say about this book is that it kept me interested. I knew what seemed obvious in the beginning must be a distraction about what was really going on. But once the twist was revealed, I was disappointed. The characters in the book were hard to root for all around, but to have the worst ones win in the end was such a let down.

Couldn't finish

Revisado: 10-30-22

I guess I'm just not the audience for which this book was intended. I am fascinated with the FLDS and enjoyed the 19th wife and so I was expecting this to be similar. Turns out it's just a sexy romance set in an FLDS compund. I'm not a big fan of cheesy romance novels. I had to stop listening after a few too many explicit sexual situations. Gross. I returned this title.

Another solid Ruth Ware book!

Revisado: 10-12-22

I really enjoyed listening to Imogene Church narrate this book as she has done others. I love the Agatha Christie quality of the story. This might be my favorite Ruth Ware book. Top three at least!

Long and not very exciting.

Revisado: 08-29-22

I love alnost everything I've read by Ruth Ware so, of course I was excited for the debut of her new novel. Sadly, it was a bit of a snore for me. It took ages to set up the story, and although the twist at the end was a bit surprising, it was overall a kind of dull read.

Disappointing

Revisado: 05-09-22

A promising start, a tedious wind-up and a disappointing ending makes this my least favorite Lisa Jewell book. if I had read this one first I might not have read another. Moving on...

Don't get audible version.

Revisado: 05-05-22

I can't really rate the story fairly because I could not get past the narration. It sounded computer-generated! no cadence or diction to the voice, very robotic. I will read not listen.
