A little slow for me, but picked up by the halfway mark. After I eventually got about halfway through, I had a much harder time putting the book down. The writing/subject matter was, at times, cringey and forced. However, I enjoyed the mystery, setting, characters, style of chapters, and how the end played out.
Graphic: Infertility, Infidelity, and Miscarriage
Moderate: Suicide and Murder
