I've had this book sitting on my TBR shelf for almost 2 years and finally picked it up. If memory serves me, I picked it out as a BOTM read because it's set in Scotland and that always pulls me in because of my heritage.

Our main characters have depth and unique backgrounds. It was interesting to see the layers unravel. I felt that the author did a good job with representing mental health and PTSD struggles.

There are dual timelines that threw me off a bit when trying to get into the story. It did seem to drag around the middle, but did pick up towards the end.

If you're looking for a book that keeps you guessing, this is it. If you're wanting to go on a slight emotional roller coaster, this one is for you. Small spoiler alert...there is a scene that may be triggering re: sexual assault.

I wanted to love this book, I really did. Ultimately, I am going with just liking it.
