"..it is so much less exhausting. You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things." Complex characters, great storyline and would give lots to discuss in a book club.

This book made me feel some type of way. It makes you think about how one would react if put into that position because you start to really feel for Isabel. I felt bad for her but also for Hannah. There are so many grey areas to why Isabel did what she did but it does not make it right. It has a slow start but when the truth is revealed things start to really pick up.
