Quick Read

It was an okay book with a twist ending that was only somewhat predictable.
I didn't find myself really connecting with any of the characters and the plot was a little confusing, but it was still an okay book. |

Disappointed

I really wanted to read this book, but it wasn't good for me. I found myself just reading so that I could finish the book. I did not feel invested in the characters. The only part of the book that elicited any kind of response from me was the animal cruelty, and I felt that was unnecessary and could have been left out. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Kinda Culturally Insensitive 🥺
Derived From Web , Oct 4, 2020
Fatima is a highly respected name for a dog in the book and the author is a bit problematic in using it. Fatima is the only pet that is described, and she has a chubby nose and wide face. It seems like a play on stereotypes. Next time, do better research to not offend your Muslim Readers.

I don’t get it. SPOILERS
Derived From Web , May 21, 2020
I don't understand the appeal of this book. There is no character development and the writing is pretentious. The narrator is the only character that makes me care about it. I knew the twist early on. The trope of dead the whole time has been eliminated.

Disappointing
Derived From Web , Jun 24, 2018
I gave it 3 stars because of the first 70% of the book. It was easy to read. The romance is a young adult read and love feels real with adolescent hormones, so I didn't find it silly, over the top or corny. The rest of the book is mourning, mourning, mourning, guilt, and more mourning after the plot twist around 80%. The story was going to be over when I rushed to the end. Part of the story development is realistic because I grew up in the 1%. I wouldn't recommend this book for adults. It is a letdown.

Jaw on the floor.
Derived From Web , Jun 8, 2018
What is that? Did, did. It is I. It is just. Did you read? My jaw was on the floor for ten minutes. It is well written. It's so unexpected. It was so much beyond words. There are many books about Mental illness. This is nothing like this before. This book is the epitome of grief and mental instability. If I tried to remove my eyes, I couldn't. It is formatted in a way that is unique and interesting. It is a love story? Is this a mystery? It's a great work of literature that throws the reader for a loop. I was confused by Cadence until the end. She made a lot more sense with her actions and personality.

Excellent read that will keep you wanting more!
Derived From Web , Mar 13, 2018
I needed to know what would happen next so I read it in one sitting. I didn't think the ending was correct. The book is narrated by a girl. She was born into a wealthy family that always appeared in control. Cady is trying to recover her memories from the summer when she was 15. Cady spent her summers on a private island owned by her grandfather on Martha's Vineyard. This is where the story takes place because each of his daughters received a house there. A map and a family tree were provided by the author. Excellent read that will keep you reading.

I hated this book
Derived From Web , Nov 4, 2017
I didn't like this book very much. It was predictable, the plot was bland, and most of the characters were uninteresting. I didn't like the writing style at all. It was a lot of work for a quick end.
