A little jarring with the time jumps and whatnot. But, like a lot of other reviewers have said, you really do need to read this to fill in the gaps and actually appreciate the previous book.
Im 50/25/25 on how it should be read...if you read this first it could ruin how you feel about Grace which i dont believe is right for the story....reading this in tandem could possibly be interestingly frustrating to know both sides at once but i think would still take away from the impact....
I think this book actually needs to be read in the correct order because this way we also have "amnesia" right along with Grace.
And trust me i get the whole "ughhhh a separate book just for a love story after the way the other one ended" i really can relate, cause i was hesitant to just skip it altogether but i am glad i didnt.
The author i think did the time jump beautifully with all the little hints and dropping minor references to generate enough intrigue. Reminding us of what scenes were important to remember by having us read them again. Yet still respected the separation of stories and timelines and allows a perfectly timed jump back to present.
That alone is worth the round of applause.
Ive been pretty stingy this year with my 5 stars, and i originally was planning to give it a 4, but once i started typing out my opinion i realized it deserves a full 5 stars.
Too many authors nowadays use flashbacks and time jumps as fillers, fluff, or when they just need another paycheck to make ends meet...and i totally understand and support the need to pay bills ....
But this....this is done the right way in my personal opinion 🤷♀️

Amazing read!
I would have given this book five stars IF the copy I received wasn’t malfunctioned/produced wrong. I was reading, as I normally do, when I noticed I was reading the same chapter over and over. I know it is a mistake on a machines part most likely. But pages in my copy were all over the place in the beginning of the book. I haven’t stumbled upon any other mistakes.
