In reply to renee. This is definitely a book you need to be in the right frame of mind to read. I'm sure you'll pick a good time.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. I hadn't thought about the autobiographical angle, but I bet there is a big piece of that.

I put it on hold but I’m nearing the end of my patience with ‘celebrate the victim’ books which have become so popular. (“There There” and “Heart Berries” just to name a couple.) And so autobiographical that the author likely won’t have more than one book in them. Or well, let’s hope not, because the two I read were terrible. (Which makes me wonder why I’m ready to read this one. Well, short leash and it’s a library book.)

I’m definitely reading this one in March, just waiting on my library hold. Thanks for your review, I do want to make sure I’m in the right mood for what sounds like a very emotional read

I have this book from BOTM, thanks for the head’s up on what may be problematic for me too. I need a little more happy in my life right now. Great review Susie!

Great review and thanks for the heads-up about how tough the plot can be. This is on my TBR. I couldn’t put down Daring to Drive.

I’m with you on being pleasantly surprised by the mystery. I’m wondering how much of this is autobiographical. That’s a scary thought.
