Ok, if the topic of incest and child abuse hasn’t turned you away from this book yet, let me warn you on how those topics are presented in this book. While the MC does think the incest and abuse is wrong, she also romanticizes it in parts as well. As do all the other Roanoke girls. They really love Dad/Grandpa/uncle. It’s absolutely disgusting and cannot be taken as a serious handling of the topics. If you are looking for a mystery or thriller, this is not it. It’s romance and sex with a hint of a who-dun-it that ultimately has no surprises, only sickly intertwined sex/romance scenes. I cannot believe how many 5 star ratings this book has, because it’s trash. I would have returned it for the credit back but it was a 2-1 credit sale.

The hosts’ voices sound like they are high schoolers reading for the class out of a textbook. Mindless droning. Also heard a lot of background noises.

Well paced and well plotted, this book has a lot to absorb and kept me interested all the way through.

I had high hopes for this book, but it was very mediocre. Not terrible, but not good either. And the narration was grating, trying way to hard to be sweet soft southern.

Good, light fluff - like eating a marshmallow

This was a heartwarming story, some childhood traumas were lightly touched on, and certain abuse alluded to, but overall the tone stayed light even on these dark topics. The character of Zoey was a little unbelievable, and the narrator’s accents were way too much. But it was an overall nice fluffy story with all happy endings. Also, there is minimal mystery here.

Was an interesting enough listen, good for a fall afternoon. Most of the narration was good, with a few exceptions.

The descriptions were excellent. Good storyline, unique and interesting. The end was maybe a little less tightly written than I had hoped for, but overall very good.

It was difficult to stay interested through many parts of this book, though there were parts that were fairly interesting.

Would not recommend if you are looking for something that presents all the facts of the case without bias.
