Loved this book so much, been wanting to read it for a while. Loved the whole story line. The ending I didn't expect or see coming in any way. I liked the point on how wealth and money can tear a family a part and have devastating consequences. Wish the book was so much longer. Fell in love with all the characters and I didn't want it to end. Would definitely recommend reading.

Its good,it starts out as a romance and goes into a mystery solving type book. VERY BIG TWIST AT THE END. Hits you in your feels.I don't read much so its a good book to start reading again. Quite underrated in my opinion.

I read this book overnight after a long reading break. This book mended my heart, then tore it into a million pieces with an axe, set it on fire with a matchbox, and left it in ashes.
