This book had so much promise, but it just didn’t come together for me. The main character Harlow was, for me, rather one-dimensional, trapped by the decisions she’d made when she was 17. I enjoyed the times she stepped outside that, but even those steps were in some ways bound by the past. I kind of liked the book, but the most telling thing I can share is that I finished it two days ago but had to refer back to the synopsis to remember what exactly it was about. It isn’t a bad book, just nowhere near as good as some others that Higgins has written.
