REVIEW

What I Liked:I thought the dual timeline worked well to provide more insight into the history that Ivy was uncovering through the artifacts and coversations she was having in the current time.

What I Didn't Like:I wasn't quite satisfied with how things ended with Henry. We are left with suspicions and him and his family.

Overall:This would be the perfect book to take with on your next beach vacation.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
