Why Should You Read This?
The pace of the book is slow, but totally worth it. I like how the house in the book has a character of itself. The story moves effortlessly between the two timelines, and the connection between Selena and Grace is beautiful. I loved this dual timeline book.
Thanks so much for reviewing my book and writing such kind words. Sending best wishes, Judy x
