You hit the nail on the head – it does feel so split. I was enjoying it until I got to the final third and then I was like “what is happening?!” Least it was a library book.

I was so excited to see her back and, like you, loved the cover, but honestly, after Part I, the book lost its appeal. Thanks for stopping by!

I don’t usually have a problem with ‘parts’ in books but when they switch tone so completely then it adds to the feeling of disconnection.

It seems to me by the time I get to a third or fourth part/section of a book that it feels disconnected from the beginning.

Do you have a favorite? Your review makes me want to read something by her… but probably not this one to start. 🙂

I forgot to say that the cover is definitely alluring and pulled me in.

Thank you for your wonderful comments and review.
I don’t think I am going to continue reading it.
ENJOY your day.
