Cassie made a bungle of 2 people's hearts for her own selfish gain. Poor Lenora, I felt so bad for her.
Intriguing story from start to finish (over the course of only 8 days in the story). You think you have things figured out and then you get spun around in a totally different direction! I liked it quite a bit, can't wait to see what's next from this author.
What a ride of a novel. Without giving much away I can say I was enthralled, disgusted, riveted, proud, furious, etc... That ending! Unexpected and gives the title a whole new meaning than the one you get through the rest of the book (probably doesn't make sense)
I can't wait to read another of her books!

It was good but I gave it 3 stars because it seemed to drag in the middle of the story for me. Bram was a full on idiot in every decision he made! Poor Fi and all she went through because of him.
What an interesting story. A story with guilt and self-blame. A story of trying to get over the past and how things had turned out. Finn was deeply troubled by a secret in his past that he couldn't even tell his wife, Violet, about. He became so racked with guilt that he felt his wife would be better without him but he couldn't give up his son. So starts a "parental kidnapping" case with the FBI. Forgiveness comes at the end but at what price? I'm glad Finn got the help he needed and so happy that Violet was able to get her son back and give him a good life despite what happened.
A good story about a new game warden called to investigate an "accidental" hunting accident on a tiny island of the coast of Maine. The people of the island were very protective of each other (aside from a rivarly with a certain family).... Even to the point of covering up crimes and secrets. I felt bad for Mike and that the uslanders hated him at the end. I'll probably try more books by this author.
Tons of secrets and mystery? An ending that had my heart in my throat? A journey that I didn't predict? That is what makes a good story in my book.
3.5 stars
I've always been fascinated by this story of Lizzie Borden and how much mystery still surrounds it.
This was an interesting insight (yes, I know not all the book is fact, but there is some) into Lizzie, her thoughts (and my thoughts about her.... Was she , and the person she shows everyone else. I liked hearing her sister Emma's perspective and felt sorry for her. The stranger part was interesting and makes me wonder if it's partly based in truth of some kind. Poor Bridget, the servant girl, trapped by Abby in the household and having her hard earned money taken away so she couldn't leave.

Loved the letter writing aspect of the book. Takes you back to another time when we didn't just text each other. I liked the friendship that developed between Tina and Anders that at the end gets a little rocky. Nice story.
