WOW!!! I would be shocked if this wasn’t at least nominated for Book of the Year. This was such an incredible read, touching on themes of love, heartbreak, betrayal, and the fact that everyone has something to hide. I was most touched by the perspectives of the various women in this book. With each one, the reader will notice that freedom and what it means to them (along with what they would sacrifice in order to obtain it) is a shared theme. I can’t say much more about it without spoiling it, other than the fact that I simply couldn’t put it down and it did not at all feel like a 400+ page read. Brava to Liz Moore on a masterpiece!

I really liked many of the themes and concepts in this book. I think the characters were beautifully done, but the incest and infidelity was too much for me on this one.

I’m not going to lie, I couldn’t stand this book at first. I hated the first person narration (I wasn’t a fan of the voice and it just seemed annoying). I am SO glad I kept reading, though, because this was such a fully realized novel. I appreciated the themes of healing the inner child, love, and feminine rage. It didn’t quite get to 5 stars in the end because of the ending, but I really enjoyed this read and would recommend it to anyone who likes a closed-circle island whodunnit.

It was SO GOOD. If you love birds, Series of Unfortunate Events, and lovable characters, you have to read this book. I loved it so much.

This was just such a sweet little book. It starts off a little slow and unassuming with some lovable characters, but some ways in, the author gives you a nice little gut check and you won’t be able to put it down!!! I wasn’t sure where it would land for me, but it was so charming and heart warming that it ended up on my 5 star list !! If you love cozy, feel-good romances with wonderful characters and happy endings (with some “that’s how life is sometimes” sprinkled in), this will be a winner for you!
