Happy Publication Day to this book! I‘m not finished with it today. I haven‘t read any of it today. I haven‘t decided yet if I‘m going to DNF it or not because I‘m not liking the characters in it.

Set in a small NY town, this is part mystery, part family drama & hard look at post-pandemic life. The book opens with the discovery of 25 year old Ashley‘s body. Her reporter boyfriend & father of her child, set his larger ambitions aside for their family. His mother & his son‘s primary caregiver, has her own worries made worse by her own fears of illness & hopes for redemption. Uneven pacing, & some predictable turns, but still gripping overall!

I decided to start this book instead of The Money Trap. This Netgalley ARC is coming out September 17 and so is the other Netgalley ARC The Money Trap but I figured that maybe this one would be a quick read. I don‘t know if I‘ll get finished today or if I‘ll end up bailing on this book. I definitely won‘t be able to start and finish The Money Trap on Sept 17. I don‘t know if I like this book or not. I don‘t really like the characters that much.

Just ok!

Yay! I was approved for another ARC to read this Fall. I‘m now up to 10 ARCs. I‘m going to be overwhelmed in the Fall with all the ARCs I have to read but at this point, I don‘t care because it‘s Summer and I‘m going to read whatever I want to read while I can.
