💎💎💎💎1/2 I had seen this book in a variety of different places and for some reason did not pick it up for a while. I don't know why,...

💎💎💎💎 I picked this up on a whim after seeing it reviewed by Ali Hazelwood in the Washington Post. I had just listened to two out of...

💎💎💎💎1/2 I'll break this review into two pieces, because the ending is so unexpected, I can't give a large chunk of my opinion of the...
