Fascinating story
Reviewed: 05-04-22
I really appreciated the story and the multitude of perspectives in this novel. However, because the perspectives from various characters changed abruptly, it was challenging at times to track with the narrative as I listened to the audible book. I would be curious if reading the book would be easier.
