FINAL THOUGHTS 💭 
First, thank you Penguin Random House Canada & NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. 
I never thought I’d be saying this… this is the first book I think I would have rather had a physical to read or a multi narrator audio book. 

The story it’s self is a beautiful one, but I found myself getting confused and losing interest because the dual timelines are not divided up, so we can’t tell which is the past and which is the present. I feel like there are going to be two groups for this one,
Love it or Hate it, and I think a big part of that is going to be the lack of division when we’re changing POVs
