The only thing I liked about this book was Simone and Annaleise, war brides on the Queen Mary going to meet their American husbands. I got to know them well, their miserable, wretched pasts they were escaping from and I felt their anguish and fear and cried with them.

I didn't relate to the other war bride Pheobe who befriended them; nor did I identify with Brette in present life. She had the "Sight", the ability to see ghosts, and she had no idea how to deal with it. IMO, the story would have been better off without this part of the story.

Knowing what happened to Simone and Annaleise was a twist you never saw coming and completely hit the bull's eye!

As for the ending, it was stupid and ridiculous.
