As Liv begins to write, she uncovers secrets from the past that reveal a surprising connection between the two women—one that will change Liv’s own story forever…
I have to be honest. I loathe this book. It is absolutely grating on my last nerve. Homophobic comments, many many stereo type troupes …..abusive marriage treated not seriously, unreal characters, it is a HOT MESS. A lot of mean spirited things along with underlining feeling that this author is quite unhappy. Read at you own risk. Yuk.
