I picked up his backlist book from my unread shelf on a whim because I was in a reading slump after finishing The Women by Kristin Hannah. The good news is it did it’s job! The writing captured my attention with its fast pacing and entertained me enough to keep the pages turning. But the story certainly wasn‘t anything special or earth shattering. I felt equally confused and intrigued throughout most of the chapters. I liked the main protagonist Leah enough to care about her, but also felt parts of her experience unnecessary. It was an enjoyable but average book that I would only recommend to existing Megan Miranda fans.
I am glad to be able to check it off of my Author-Read-It All for Megan Miranda and also unhaul it from my shelves. 😊
