You've summarized the book well! It has a lot of characters though. I think the mystery element of the book might prove interesting. Thanks for your review!

This is a romantic womens fiction novel on love, loss, friendship, trust, and honesty. The book is free on Kindle Unlimited and has an awesome OnlineBookClub review that highlighted the book perfectly. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats @suelilleyauthoron the BOTD.

Thanks for the review, but I don't care for romance novels, and I definitely don't want to read one with "love, loss, and forever questioning one's life in general" as other themes.

This looks like a wonderfully written women's fiction. A story about romance and friendship and a secret that haunts the protagonist in life. Readers who like romance should check this out. Congratulations to the author and thanks for sharing a thorough review.

I am interested to find out about Grace's secret after reading your review.

The sample was difficult for me to read as it was a drama start off. Your review filled in a few of the blanks that I was curious about. This BOTD isn't holding my attention so I am going to pass.

This book has most of the qualities that make me love a novel: a great cast of characters, romance, secrets and a premise we can all relate to: What is the right thing to do?
It's commendable that the author pays attention to the supporting characters. I've found that secondary characters are often flat and feel like "props", and I'm glad this is not the case.
I'll pick up this novel for sure. Thank you for your enthusiastic review!
