This was a decent palette cleanser if you need something really quick to read from a highly beloved author, but nothing that is going to stick out in my head by any means.
The story was very predictable, and I didn't really have time to get to know the characters I don't feel. It was only 50 pages so that is to be expected really.
The writing felt pretty redundant at points and overly simplistic, which isn't something I generally notice in books but did notice here. It was a lot of "Sophia laid down." "Sophia drank water." "Sophia looked at her phone." (I completely made these sentences up mind you, but you get the idea--It repeatedly stated x person did x thing, but there was 0 elaboration, and that writing pattern got tiresome to me.
Overall, quick and easy but I wouldn't rush to pick it up. Worth a read if you love Elin Hilderbrand or need something quick to maybe push you out of a reading slump. For me, 2.75 stars rounded up.
Thank you to Amazon Original Stories and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
