This novel, about a woman who steals a valuable painting and has to face the consequences, is sassy, smart, and surprisingly affecting. I got swept away both by the story, as I rooted for Joanna to get her life back on track, and by the writing, which is beautiful and literary without being pretentious. I loved the mother/daughter relationship and the romance subplot. Five enthusiastic stars. Thanks to the author and her publisher for letting me read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

I will be withholding my review of this one till the HCP union has a fair contract. Thank you again for the arc and can't wait to publish the review in the future,
