Helpful Score: 2
This book is a triple romance, a mystery, (spoiler) and a ghost story.
Issues with book that lowered my rating: Two seemingly disparate stories finally truly converge at the end. ( one starts in 1974, the main one set in present day) I was troubled for much of the book wondering how and when the two timelines would finally intertwine.
Set in England, there are some British cliches I never figured out despite my having a lot of exposure to Brit lit......had to resort to questioning my daughter who studied abroad in London and worked there for 6 months after graduation.
Though it ends as a feel-good story, the characters never grabbed me enough to emotionally invest in this tale, though Portia stands out as the one to really hate.

I loved this book. It was an interesting take on why people do things that they do with their lives, how they stop their lives during tragedy and how they can move forward. The author does a wonderful job of pulling all the characters together.
Unique and entertaining!
