Such a lot of characters in this book made it quite confusing . A slow start but it turned in to a good story
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

I expected something else, a thriller, suspense, something other than a romantic drama. That being said, I quite enjoyed this. I wouldn't say it was suspenseful, with twists and turns. No, this was a well-crafted journey of a group of people going through turmoil and emotional pain. I identified with each of the characters, different in their own ways, and my only complaint was that it ended too abruptly.

4.5 stars, rounded up to 5.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and NetGalley, and my review is being given freely.

I dived into this book thinking it would be a thriller, true crime more than a family drama and for this, I was a bit disappointed. And there were so many character POV/time shift that it was confusing at times. It was still a nice and slow-paced story about guilt, grief and healing. I was quite happy at the end, for her and the parents.

Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for access to this arc in exchange for my review.

Omg I loved this book could not put it down. I wasn’t sure when I first started to read it but I am so glad that I carried on cause it was so gripping that I needed to know how it was going to end for Layla. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone fantastic read. Thanks to netgallery and the publisher for my advanced copy.

Following Layla's journey of grief and guilt was an enjoyable experience for this reader. Romance blossoms in this gentle well written tale that was a pleasure to read. Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the second Deirdre Palmer book to review this year. I look forward to the next.

I absolutely loved this book, it had me hooked and I couldn’t put it down. I loved the characters and would love to see Layla again. A great story of love and loss. Thank you so much for the opportunity to review.
