review 1: I read Emily Winslow's subsequent book The Start of Everything first, then went back to read this one. I'm now really glad I did. This first novel just wasn't terribly enjoyable or believable. I didn't care for the characters, though they were interesting. As with The Start of Everything, I feel the resolution fell flat. Perhaps the bounds of believability had been stretched so far that the ending had to be hastily thrown together. Save yourself some time and read Winslow's much more enjoyable second novel.
review 2: This book provides an atypical mystery novel to add to my collection. There are several plot twists that I found compelling and unexpected and Winslow's technique of writing only once from each character's perspective was fresh and happily frustra... moreting. This was not the novel I expected, but I was happily pleased. While the book has its flaws, I enjoyed the conversational tone and storytelling. I found Liv's character most interesting. While her actions were unexpected and seemed to come from nowhere, I believe that is the point Winslow was trying to make with her--single moments can break us and twist our lives into unsuspecting paths. The plot has its flaws, but I found the writing poignant and the characters surprising. less
