Emma Lord has done it again!! Believable and brilliant characters filled with life and flaws. .75 stars taken off for the mom character that read like a 25 year old.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
I haven't read any of the author's previous work, so I feel I may not truly appreciate this book.

I really want to like this, but I've had the same problem with this one that I've had with their other books. I think theres's good messages, but the frustrating main character keeps me from rating this higher.
