Paperback read but ebook previously provided by NetGalley. Thank you.
3/5 stars
I initially rated this at 4 stars but then reevaluated and edited it to 3 stars after reading some reviews on Goodreads. I guess I got caught up in the drama and was looking through rose-tinted glasses but reading other reviews (not always recommended) helped me see more clearly.
Girl A is Lex Gracie. She escaped her house of horrors aged 15. She and her siblings were starved and chained by their Father. Their Mother did nothing to help. Now Mother has died and Lex wants to turn their old house into a community centre but she needs her siblings signatures.
So when I first finished it I was caught up in how compelling the story and the writing were and how everything just flowed. Abigail Dean has a very easy, readable writing style.
But after some thought I realised there are just too many plot holes. Ethan's involvement, Gabriel's sight, the full story of the cake, the end of Lex's relationship (apparently fertility related but never explained), everyone's reluctance for her to attend the wedding. The twist was a little obvious and then that ending?? Very abrupt, very confusing.
This book frustrated me on the whole because I can see the potential it had to be so much better.
