Ahh, I really wanted to like this. I love everyday history, and the idea of blending a researcher and those whose story they're trying to uncover is really cool. I didn't care for how this played out though.

Very predictable for what's kind of meant to be a mystery. I REALLY hate miscommunication tropes, and this one was eye rolling. Also, CAN SOMEONE TELL THIS POOR CHILD WHAT A PERIOD IS?!

I really didn't care for Caroline's POV or storyline. It felt like what I imagine every Hallmark movie 5-10 years on looks like: Girl gives up her dreams for small town business boy. Oh no! Turns out he's unfaithful! Perhaps she should have considered her dreams all along?

Which listen...I love a story of women learning to live for themselves, this one just didn't hit. Also the husband was comically evil. Like girl the abusive red flags just became apparent to you??? There was never a teeny inkling till just now?
