This book was awesome. I had a phenomenal time reading it. The final stretch of the book really had me on my toes, especially the plot twist that A.J. was the killer and not Anderson. I'm glad that Nora was able to get justice for Driss. I hope that the baby Nora is having is Jeremy's kid; if not, that is really upsetting. There was just so much that happened that I wish it were just a bit longer.

I really hope that Nora ends up taking over the restaurant, makes tons of money, and gets married to Jeremy. That could be a stretch, but the satisfaction of proving her sister and mom wrong would be awesome. Aside from that, I think Nora will end up coming in contact with Efraín, or Efraín will step up and say something to Colemen. This could be the turning point in the story that helps Nora get justice for Driss.

Dotes are starting to connect. They have evidence that the baker did the hit-and-run, just not high enough standards of proof. They are in the last stretch of completing this case. It seems as if the family is starting to go back to normal activities and growing back together.

In the end, Jeremy committed the hit-and-run, and Erica is devastated and angry. Nora visits Jeremy in jail, trying to understand his actions, and she is torn between her feelings for him and the need for justice for her father. This is a lot of drama, which I enjoy in a book, and it was pretty easy to read because Lalami made it so that there aren't many boring parts. This book showed me that not everyone is honest.

I was caught off guard when I found out that Anderson Barker was the one who killed Driss. I read more about the Land Rover altercation. Anderson is always looking for the bad, never the good. I love Nora and Jeremy as a couple. I think he is helping Nora a lot with grief and more. Hopefully, Efraín will step up and say something; it would definitely help bring justice to this case and get Barker in jail.

As the book moves on, secrets start to unravel. Nora’s family is slowly starting to fall apart and is becoming chaotic. I feel like the author made a huge point on legacy and what people leave behind. He left so much weight on his family and that greatly affected them.

Maryam still found herself reaching for two glasses when her make mint tea, she still not come out from the sadness of losing her husband yet.
Fierro help Jeremy to found out who is inculde in the case and he also pannic between himself and her wife
