A lot can change in 27 minutes. Why did Grant take so long to call for help after getting into an accident that ended with his sister, Phoebe, dying? Now it’s 10 years later, and the town is having a memorial in remembrance of Phoebe. The town is once again full of gossip as to the event and the people who may or may not been involved in each other’s lives. There’s four people at the heart of this tragedy. What secrets will be revealed?
I know I rated this book 3 stars, and I rated down, because I would give it 3.5 if I could. The secrets that were revealed were shockingly good. I didn’t expect the ending AT ALL. The book wrapped up perfectly.
However, that’s kind of where the goodness ends for me. There were so many characters introduced in the beginning that I was lost. While I did appreciate chapters told from various characters points of view, it took me a bit to remember them all and understand how they all fit in.
This book is a true definition of a slow burn. If you like slow burns, you’ll enjoy this book. It was a little too slow for me personally, but that’s just personal preference and nothing to do with the author’s talent.
I think this was a good debut book. I’m excited to see this author progress throughout her career.
This book will be released on January 30, 2024. You can pre-order it here.
