I really enjoyed this! It took me a bit longer to get into it than I expected, but once it got rolling, I had a difficult time putting it down. The characters are well developed. Moriarty unfolded the main story and the characters’ stories at a fun pace. There weren’t deep insights into human nature or anything, just a fun read!
Hi and welcome! I’m Sarah. Thanks for stopping by. This is where I’ll share book reviews and other bookworm thoughts. I live in Texas, but grew up and went to school in the Midwest, lived as a newlywed on the west coast, lived on the east coast for 18 years, and have been in south Texas for about a year and a half. Some of my favorite things include Jesus, my husband, our four kids, my three cats, queso and chips, lattes, peanut butter cups, and a great story! Say hey before you leave! I’d love to hear from you.
