Synopsis is well-written but misleading. Minimal mystery. Women’s fiction w angsty melodrama.

 I am a big fan of this genre. This book blew me away. I wouldn’t give the ending away for anything but it’s a shocker. I also really liked narrating.

So helpful
Reviewed: 10-10-23
I had purchased another book about setting up short term and mid term rentals, and it was very broad and vague, but this book is excellent because it is really a nuts and bolts book. The author breaks down all the necessary components to create a successful mid term rental. Some of these components include: how to market your property, purchasing insurance, identifying and explaining the various platforms to use for midterm rentals.

So beautifully written and narrated but so predictable that the female lead gives up her own happiness for the sake of the family. Frustrating.
