I had a very hard time finishing this book it was almost my second DNF. The female character IMO is insufferable and continues to be that way throughout the book. It was hard to believe one person could have so much happen to them in one lifetime, not to say that it is impossible but it does feel like one thing after another and it was all big terrible things. I had higher hopes to say the least.

L.J. Shen writes the most beautiful stories.
I AM A SPICE GIRL... lol no not the girl group but a girl who demands spice to like a book. Well there are a few author's who can write a story with very little spice and still make me glued to a book. L.J. Shen is one of those authors. This book like many of her others was a masterpiece and will live rent free in my brain for life. This story had twist and turns I never seen coming. Parts that made me tear up and characters that I love. The spice scale is a 2/5 but the plot, how it pulls you in all are top star. So if you liked any of L.J. Shen's books you have to read this one and if you haven't then let this be your first since it's a standalone.
