The two women's strange connection threatens to unlock secrets that will change everything Olivia thought she knew about her marriage, her husband, and most importantly, herself.[i] ~~~~ This story takes place from 1996 through 2012. The author goes back and forth in the years and with different POVs. It was not confusing at all. I found it intriguing and was trying to guess what was going to happen. I was so wrong. Julianne MacLean writes this story beautifully. It flows well. The reader is never bored. I can't say much more without giving away the story. Though the story initially focuses on Olivia, Dean and Melanie, as the years go by new characters are introduced as people grow and age. Dean disappears and Olivia has trouble moving on. But eventually one must move on, mustn't they? You have to read this story to find out. It's romance, it's drama, it's mystery, it's suspense, it's intrigue, it's family, it's about love and forgiveness and moving forward. An excellent read. The author sent me the ARC. The book is scheduled to be released June 14, 2022. Julianne MacLean has written a LOT of books. This is the first I have heard of her. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.
