I could not put this down! It’s exactly what I needed.
I loved the setting, which is probably no surprise to anyone who knows me, because Fort Tryon Park is one of my favorite places on earth. The humidity, the cool breeze, I felt all of it; I know well that feeling of getting to the top of the park a little disheveled.
The characters are fun — nobody is particularly likable, everybody is more than a little suspicious.
I do wish this had been more magical. I kept expecting it to take a turn in that direction, and then it took a turn into more of the relationship dynamics. I didn’t mind that, exactly, but it was disappointing when I thought we were going in one direction and ended up in another.
Still, this was fun!
I have to say, I cannot even imagine someone driving into WaHI from Tarrytown every day. Possibly the least believable thing about this book.
