I teared up multiple times and the end was the plot twist I wasn’t expecting.

Shelves: five-stars

However, this book filled me with so many different emotions. Once I was fully immersed in the story, I couldn’t put it down. A well-deserved 5 stars, and I can’t wait to read more Kristin Hannah novels!
