I can’t believe I didn’t know who Diane Chamblerlain was a little over a year ago. She’s become one of my absolute favorite authors and her books are starting to feel a little like coming home.
This one really was as good as the other ones, maybe even better. Morgan and Anna both had me drawn into their stories right away.
I found myself drawn more to Anna’s story, because of the mystery of it all. Like with all Chamberlain works, the mystery drove me nuts throughout the story, but it all comes together really well in the end.
As always, I really loved the relationships. Anna and Jesse’s platonic love for each other brightened my heart. Especially for the time they lived in when it was extremely taboo for a young white woman and a young black man to be friends.
I didn’t guess the twist at the end, which is another reason why I love Chamberlain. Mysteries often are really easy for me to figure out, but with her books I can never guess correctly. Close, but never exactly. I love it.
I’m shaving off half a star because I would have liked to see a little bit more of Morgan and Emily. I would have liked for the scene at the end of the book was a little bit longer. I definitely would have rated it 5 stars.
