For me, this book fell short of a 5-star review. I liked it, but I didn't love it. The dual timeline was a bit jerky, and while I had empathy for the main characters, I wasn't anxious about their fate. Didn't we all know they'd be fine in the end? Wo ...more

What I assumed would be a beach read turned out to be so much more. Honest, deep emotions were explored in a backdrop that didn't lend itself to honest, deep emotions. There's a lot of angst here, and while I felt like bopping Fin in the head at time ...more
