While it wasn't a stellar read for me, I definitely found it heartwarming. My favorite parts were honestly the parts where Gabriel bonds with the twins. So cute! Rachel was an enjoyable lead and I liked getting to know her.
I did wish there had been a bit more resolution on some of the things raised in the course of the story. For example, Rachel's mother doesn't tell anyone she has grandchildren, and the reader is allowed to infer it's because she is embarrassed they are born out of wedlock. However, the minute Rachel comes, she seems to throw off all of that. There are multiple “mismatches” throughout the plot like that, which left the book feeling slightly off-kilter. The mother getting treatment; the brother being there and getting on the plane with them but not getting mentioned afterward...so on.
I really enjoyed the glimpses into other characters we loved from the past and will be glad to return to Owl Creek for the next installment.
