Wow, this was heavy, beautiful, extremely emotional. K.Hannah did not disappoint and I honestly wasn’t expecting her to. This was such a great story and I know it’s written on facts so it is entirely heartbreaking to hear the reality of it. I felt just about every emotion throughout the entire book. Such a good read!

I’m actually pretty disappointed with the ending. This book had so much potential. The lead up was great, the mystery was great… and then things started going downhill… starting with the decade long memory loss??? there’s no way that’s even remotely possible. Although I haven’t googled it, that is simply stupid to say the least. I understood the whole kidnapping part but cmon… the rest of it?? The brother’s involvement? I liked that they were trying to pull in some sort or plot twist/betrayal but they would’ve needed to do a better background story on him to pull it off. Disappointed & Could’ve had a way better ending.
