Well-paced, a quick and entertaining read. I liked that the last half of the book went fast and the ending was satisfying although not particularly surprising.

This book was rough in a good way. I was initially put off by the characters,  thinking I wouldn't be able to get into them. I was wrong. It was well done - even the violence.

Folks like to talk about revenge like it's a righteous thing, but it's just hate in a nicer suit.

A good father, a good man, loved the people that love his children.

Not bad, but the main character got a little annoying to me after awhile. And the end was just OK for me. 

Fast-paced, entertaining read. It wasn't an earth-shattering ending, but still really satisfying. Overall really good.

A super quick one! I read this in one day. It wasn't anything spectacular, but a solid thriller.

Great read! I had my suspicions about how it would end, and I was right about pieces but I didn't guess it all. The whole ending was well done.

This was a tough one. Made up of short stories, some were good, and some were very boring. I skimmed a lot towards the end. Not great as a whole, but I did enjoy some parts.

Emotional, beautifully written. Not as much action/plot as I hoped, but I loved the ending and how it resolved for the characters.

Fast-paced mystery that had me guessing until the end. Overall a solid read. 

It was a little hard to get used to the alternating timelines, but I really enjoyed this overall! I especially liked how strong the women characters are, and by the end I was hooked. 

This one didn't move fast enough for me. Not enough plot for how long it was, and I ended up confused about the differing stories going on. It was just OK.

This had some good parts - I liked the narrator and the writing, but the whole story was just a little farfetched. It didn't land for me.

I love Reid's writing so much. It's so easy to be transported into the time period of the book. I loved every part of this!

Enjoyable overall - I knew how it would end in general, but I enjoyed the journey to get there. A little preachy at times, but I didn't mind.

This was a miss for me. I only liked one of the characters and I didn't understand the mother at all. Eh.

Well-paced, and interesting, but it left me wanting more in terms of resolution. The end felt rushed. Overall not bad.

I was not prepared for how much literal Shakespeare was in this book. The characters speak in quotes. I didn't love that. Also I felt like the ending was a little anticlimactic, and I wished the LGBTQ element was more overt.

I like when they have different voices for different narrators. It helps to keep track. The ending was a little off, but overall I liked it a lot.

Very twisty, and kept me guessing. The last big twist/reveal was a little weird, but I did like how it was tied together. 

This was just OK. Did have twists and turns, but the narrator really turned me off at times. Maybe this would have been better as a printed book rather than an audiobook? I'm not sure. Meh.

A really interesting, sweeping book! I did skim in some parts where it lagged a bit, but overall I enjoyed it and each of the plotlines. I was very invested in how it would play out.

A taut thriller that was incredibly well paced. I loved it! I loved how it didn't tie up neatly, I loved the twists along the way. This was a great read.

It took me a little bit to get into this book, but I really enjoyed it. I liked all of the storylines and felt that the conclusion was satisfying and beautiful. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is that the pacing was just a bit off for me. 

Listened to this audiobook in one day! Overall I really enjoyed it - it took a little bit because of the nature of listening to it vs reading it to remember all the various characters, but once I got that down, I liked learning about each one of them. The payoff at the end was not the best...it didn't really fit with the rest of the novel. Maybe there could have been more build-up or breadcrumbs left in the rest of the book to make it feel more connected. Because otherwise it ended up feeling disjointed.

Not enough plot. Some chapters went by quickly and were interesting, and others dragged. It was not consistently enjoyable. Overall just OK.
