I‘m not sure where to start with this. Good writing, but the drama over the “family secret” was a bit much when it came to Rain and Jessica‘s reactions. I can‘t imagine what Mariah went through, her story was devastating. A dual timeline, multiple perspective book. Mariah‘s story was deeper emotionally and much better written. Book #5 in 2024
