Wow. Maybe heaven on earth is our reality. Good things happen to good people. I was captivated from start to finish!

Life is so funny sometimes. My mother in law came over this morning to let us know she has a malignant tumor in her breast. And an hour later, I read about Elin‘s breast cancer. Worrying about the people you leave behind - a testimony to one‘s character. ❤️❤️

It‘s so interesting to me how common it is for people to believe that wealth equates to happiness. Ironically, I‘ve found that the more money one has, the more “secret” issues there are (usually with family). In the end, we are all just people. And people will always ebb and flow. Unfortunately, the death of a father will always color every thought Lisa has - especially because of their complicated relationship. Or maybe it‘s not so unfortunate.

People can change for the better. I bawled for about the last quarter of this book. Ethan and Darce remind me of me and my husband - I cannot wait to start a family together. And even though our beginnings definitely weren‘t fairytale, I don‘t think most love stories are. Love usually blossoms from true friendship. Keep your tissues close when you read this one!!

“All he wanted was for her to participate in her own life.”

Lots of hype for this book. I really feel like this would only be helpful if both parties to a relationship read the book- otherwise, you are bearing the brunt of saving the relationship. And then you would resent the other person regardless. It was okay.

Awesome book. I‘m glad that Rachel ended up in the “right” direction - I think so many women in this world play the role of the perfect daughter, wife, friend, mother ... in reality though, once you take a stand for what makes you happy, you might not be perfect in someone else‘s eyes. And that is sometimes just fine.

Creepy. A good creepy and a quick read.

Could not believe the ending. Really well done

I was glued from chapter one.

Not my favorite Patterson novel. I found it to be anti-climactic

This book gave me the confidence to quit my corporate, 6 figure job wherein I was constantly reminded of my younger age and “incorrect” gender. I know not where my place is, but step one was to admit I had not found it yet. Often times, taking the first step to leave is the most difficult. After reading Sheryl‘s journey, I decided that if she could do it, so could I. And I did.
