Great dialogue. Predictable but a great read.

I listened to the audiobook. Really well done. With lots of twists and turns. enjoyed the book and recommend it.

I like Emily Henry’s other books. Like “Beach Read. “This book, however, is not very enjoyable. The constant angst between the characters and the main character giving up 12 years of medical school with all of the loans and hardship she endured to start doing pottery. Totally unrealistic!!! This was her goal her whole life to be a doctor. She’s through her residency. It would’ve made more sense for her to finish that last little bit of medical training and become a small doctor in their Montana town or anything else. The misunderstandings between the two characters was, somewhat understandable, but taken way too far. Overall a real disappointment. I’m glad I did not start with this book as an example of her works.

I listened to the audiobook. Great narrator and a very interesting edge of the seat mystery. I really didn’t know what would happen even 90% through the book. very good character development. Would recommend it.

What has a good start of a story is executed very poorly. Writing is not eloquent. The romance is so contrived and unnecessary. I think it ruins the book.

Such a shame that a book that had the potential to speak to people who are really interested in the subject became a blaming, lecturing, judgmental rant against all whites. She labeled all non-ethnics as white supremacists. I did not learn anything useful from this book that could help me in my daily life as I try to support black Americans. I also think it is very telling that she never mentioned the Jewish population as part of the “model majority population” she describes- claiming it pertains to only Asians. Jewish people are simply lumped into being white and therefore guilty of racism and of being white supremacists. The narrator is very good and I hope that she can find other books to use her excellent voice. The content of this book is unfortunately not worth reading.
