The story appeared to be complicated with many people and their criminal activities but author Cannell did an excellent job of keeping timelines organized and keeping me engaged. It was a well researched and detailed book. It sickened me the way these two former NYPD Detectives eluded justice for so long. If you enjoy true crime, this book is for you!

I loved this charming magical realism story where the author used a dual timeline. I equally enjoyed both timelines. This story was heartwarming and even made me laugh out loud. If you enjoy second chance stories full of love and hope, this one is for you!

I have been putting off writing this review for a long time because I knew I would not be able to adequately express my thoughts about this amazing and powerful novel. It was a beautiful story about friendship, betrayal and ultimately hope. This was an in-depth coming of age and character study using historical details that explored two women and their experiences in the Iranian culture. I loved everything about this book, the characters, the setting, themes and writing style. If you enjoy stories of women, sacrifice, friendship and culture, this book is for you.

She wrote a roller coaster of a love story that shattered my heart to pieces and then gave me the ending I needed! I stayed up so late finishing the book and then couldn’t sleep thinking about what I just read. This novel gave me November 9 vibes, which I enjoyed. This is my second 5 star read by Paige. I also loved Only Love Can Hurt Like This. I highly recommend if you enjoy emotional love stories.

I read this book slow and savored every word. I was invested in this story from the beginning. Every time I put the book down I was thinking about the characters. Someone was always suffering, hoping, searching, judging and loving. I felt every emotion imaginable. This novel is why I read books… to meet new characters, to travel to places I have never visited, and to immerse myself in their story.

The cover of the book first captured my interest. It is gorgeous and I kept looking back at it! I loved this beautiful debut historical fiction novel The cover of the book first captured my interest. It is gorgeous and I kept looking back at it! I loved this beautiful debut historical fiction novel told through a dual timeline about war, love, family and their secrets. I enjoyed the intergenerational relationship between grandmother and granddaughter. The story was heartbreaking, however, full of determination and hope. The ending left me satisfied and the acknowledgment by the author was a special treat to read!
