This book left me with mixed feelings...I don't know if the ending is good or bad. It is a good and satisfying but at the same time I expected a little bit more "blood" maybe...
Overall, a very good read. Keeps you on your toes until the end.

It took me forever to finish this book, BUT I AM GLAD I DID! The first half is very slow and wasn't catchy to me, maybe because I am in my mid 30s and I couldn't relate to the characters due to the age difference. However, second part of the book is amazing! I liked that the story did not end after the main question was answered: "What happened to Joy?" The author made sure to finish all open questions, and Savanah's character wasn't forgotten either. Also, I learned some good tips regarding long lasting marriage. A good read overall!

Story
Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

Dear Anna, What I have to tell you is difficult to write, but I know it will be far more difficult for you to hear, and I'm so sorry. The unfinished letter is the only clue Tara and Emerson have to the reason behind their close friend Noelle's suicide. Everything they knew about Noelle - her calling as a midwife, her passion for causes, her love for her friends and family - described a woman who embraced life. Yet there was so much they didn't know. With the discovery of the letter and its heartbreaking secret, Noelle's friends begin to uncover the truth about this complex woman who touched each of their lives.

Very Intriguing
Reviewed: 01-04-23
Loved the book. Very interesting story about how someone so close can be such a stranger. I really enjoyed life long relationships. However, the ending felt unfinished and too quick. Wanted a little more about the flower garden, about how the "new" family discovery was unfolding, what was the Dad's reaction to the news...But overall did not regret about the purchase!

Great book! Yes, there are so many questionable moments, but don't take it serious, just enjoy it! It is so nice to read books like this nowadays, when good in people prevail all the bad stuff happening in the world, and it doesn't matter if it is now or a hundred years ago...

The story itself is interesting, but the foul language can be eliminated to keep the book intelligent, not primitive...Also, the twist with her father made me want to turn it off immediately. Why?????? That is all I want to say...
If you are a person with old school moral standards, don't waste your money on this book.

Struggled to finish. The end was very short with some unnecessary drama. Feels like story needed more details and relationships involved during the "missing" and after between the kids not their parents
