Felt a little long in parts but all pulls together nicely. Part mystery, part book-in-a-book, perfect examples of toxic behavior in characters, light religious undertones and a clean romance. Just wish I wasn't sick while reading the ending.

I loved this book. Faith-based and at times heartbreaking, this beautifully written story deals with love, loss, second chances and above all the power of friendships. Joel, his cousin Cecelia and Ingrid, a girl in need of roots after growing up with her father‘s port-to-port jobs, have been bfs since teenagers until a tragedy strikes that pulls Indy and Joel (who have fallen in love) apart. Five years later, following another heartbreaking loss🔻

robinb Joel and Indy are forced to reunite to carry out a request. Secrets long buried and surprising revelations come to light, but will they help or hinder their tremulous start to forge a new beginning. The characters are well-defined, relatable and vulnerable in their humanness, and the losses, while devastating, are also reminders of how much others in our lives can mean to us. There are some hauntingly 🔻 2y

robinb insightful/deeply-felt/gorgeous passages as the characters (especially the threesome) experience growth through life‘s journey of change. I‘ll definitely be looking at this author‘s backlist and as she goes forward as well. Recommended. 4.5/5⭐️ 2y
