It’s notMy aunt gave me a bag of books that I turned to on maternity leave and most of them didn’t sound interesting but this one peaked my interest. It’s not the normal romance cheesey novel I read, but there are some love stories within (they’re just a bit twisted�). It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. Lots of twists and turns and somehow it all comes together at the end in a way that I never expected. Even the epilogue had a beautiful surprise! ...more

Not my favorite book, but it was an easy read (even with dual point of views between Lucas and Sparrow). Overall, it was a strong story with sadness, resilience, love, and trauma all intertwined. I wish the ending was a bit stronger and more of a “shock� factor, but that’s okay! ...more

I grabbed it, not knowing what it was about and definitely not expecting to finish it (toddler mom/pregnant mom life�). However, I was hooked after a few chapters! I don’t often read crime type books but I love listening to true crime podcasts, especially if there’s a love story interwoven. Anyway, I did NOT expect the ending! Quick read (even with alternating points of views for the chapters), kept me on the edge of my seat, and certainly an unexpected twist at the end! ...more
My hopes weren’t high because a few people told me this wasn’t the best CoHo book but I FLEW through it because I wanted to know what was going to hapMy hopes weren’t high because a few people told me this wasn’t the best CoHo book but I FLEW through it because I wanted to know what was going to happen next!
The story starts off quite heartbreaking in more ways than one. My heart hurt for Beyah and the experiences she endured as a child/young adult.
The end was NOT what I expected. It came together in the most beautiful way! Great elements of hardship/resilience, family truths and sisterhood, heartbreak and healing, etc.
Also, the meaning of heart bones melts your heart at the end!!! ...more
I needed a break from binging CoHo books so I decided to read one of my books I grabbed from the DOLLAR TREE. I saw some bad reviews so I was worried I needed a break from binging CoHo books so I decided to read one of my books I grabbed from the DOLLAR TREE. I saw some bad reviews so I was worried it was going to be a rough one and that I wouldn’t finish it, but it was cute! Took me back to college days when life was a bit more carefree. Easy read, easy to follow, nothing complicated� a tale of friends traveling with some romance and drama sprinkled in there. ...more

It was sad at the same time as realistic and amazing and honest - I don’t know how to explain it. I think the lesson about depression and how that might show up, stands out the most to me. I wouldn’t say it was my FAVORITE CoHo book so far, but definitely worth reading if you enjoy her writing. ...more
