My review:
I struggled to stay engaged, it was a slow burn.
Each chapter was about a character within the story with a
10 yr chapter to tie it together. Picking up and putting the book down meant I did lose the thread a few times. The switch between characters chapters confused me a little. There seem long gaps between each characters chapter so I found myself struggling to pick up from their previous chapter in the story as it seem a good few pages previously.
However the twist in the final pages and the ultimate outcome I did not see coming. It was only in the last couple of chapters that it started to become clearer about Wyatt.
It’s definitely a book to read in one or two sittings but the final chapter really brings it together with an outcome I wasn’t expecting..
