[Christine Goodnough · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting story, very believable characters. I'm not completely satisfied about the solution to one man's problem, though. And, as others have said, Isabel does wander off in musing very much. Still, I find this first book I've read in the series interesting enough to read the next one.

Book 266 of 350 ~ 2025

I'm rereading as I want to remember what I read before starting his new titles.

Isabel is intelligent but omgggggg what an overthinker.

I reckon if I'm her friend.. I'd definitely have more than 2 drinks.

I was loaned this book and struggled with all the philosphy in it and the amount of thinking the main character did. Interesting plot.
