I received an ARC from Netgalley. I am leaving my honest review.

The writing was good although the plot was simple. There were no surprises or big reveals. It is a good hearted book that ends on a satisfying note. ...more

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
An interesting read but it felt quite bland and flat at times.
An OK read.
