So, I did pick up this book not realizing it was technically a sequel. However, I kinda enjoy having read it ‘backwards’ so now Rachel’s Holiday will seem like a backstory. But to this actual story — sheesh, Keyes does it again. I don’t think she’s ever written a subpar book in her life. Even though this book contained very dark and troubling themes, it still remained so fun and interesting to read. The mixture of depth was also being something I don’t have to power through.. truly incredible. As I say with every Keyes book: read it; you won’t regret it.
