Fantastic storyline and human characters.
I bought this book because it was featured in one of the book blogs. I considered it an easy, fast read, but boy was I surprised! Fell in love with the characters and did not want to put the book down. So much was contained in Grace's story. I highly recommend buying this book, putting your feet up and enjoying the read.

Loved the plot and characters, one of the first books I read when I decided to start reading again. I usually go for true crime books but this was gifted to me and it was right up my alley despite being fiction. I was hooked on Grace’s story from the moment I started reading.
