It’s a great story! I felt like I was among close friends. I have recommended it to my book club. It was interesting to follow the path Donna Lynn took. Well organized and fun to read. So far everyone in my book club loves it and finds it hard to put down.
This book draws you in from the start! There are so many twists and turns that is unexpected. This has been one of my favorite books I have read in years. Every person I recommend it to reads it and raves about it! The plot never stops surprising! Great story, great writing, great twists!!
