After reading all the raves on this book, I really expected to enjoy it. I'm a big Kristin Hannah fan, but this was SO disappointing for me.

The first 200 pages were drawn out and repetitive to a fault. The entire family dynamic felt too contrived, not to mention Meredith's relationship with her husband.

And if a character goes on one more run, takes the dogs out, or heats up dinner one more time...!

Then by the time they begin unraveling their mother's fairy tale past, I had zero interest. I didn't care about any of the characters enough. Maybe if the first half hadn't been so drawn out, it would've been more interesting.

Sorry, I can't recommend this one at all. Try ON MYSTIC LAKE, BETWEEN SISTERS, or ANGEL FALLS instead.
