samantha_cohen_8398 shared a tip "A amazing story written from three women’s points of view. I could not put it down"
rxannamae shared a tip "Genuinely disliked Caroline's narrative. I don't know how Eliza and Nella can be so dynamic and interesting and Caroline just feels...stupid? Naive? I'm not sure if it's because she's modern and her trouble is relatively nonsense compared to the other narrators."
lindsey_rodriquez shared a tip "It started off slow for me, but it got better. The story line of every character, the back and forth between the past and the present was what made this book a good read. I love period pieces and this book gave me that."

andrea_zimmerman_8064 shared a tip "Different than romance, two different stories to be told"

natashaB14 shared a tip "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
gabbyhey13 shared a tip "Solid 7/10 definitely starts slow and gives 'cheesy romance novel' vibes, but it's really not. Loved the ending."
compassion_riley shared a tip "This book flips between past and present. It unexpectedly was a winner for people that feel overlooked because of society's perspective of what they should be. It reminds me that no matter how old I become, I can make my dreams a reality. Read it with a smile and try to remember you can make your dreams come true right now."

icedvanillabi shared a tip "A simple yet enjoyable read that saves a few surprises for last- harboring the message of self-rediscovery. Although, the main "present" character arc fell a little flat compared to the intricacies and complexity of the characters set in the past. Still worth a glance if you're looking for an easy read with a time jump."

doreen_gantt shared a tip "Hi! This weekend I finished reading "The Witch's Heart" by Genevieve Gornichec, a reimagining of the Norse tale of Angrboda and Loki. It was a really good read. The second book I finished - not so much. "Opening Belle," the story of a female managing director on Wall Street trying to get ahead in her male dominated field while being a wife and a mom during the lead up to the mortgage crisis of 2008, was a great premise but I didn't like any of the characters. Belle was a total doormat."

brittney_ewing shared a tip "https://www.mybotm.com/lokxg0w6s6h"
nichole_bridgewater shared a tip "This isn't the kind of story I usually read, but I was immediately drawn in. I found myself rooting for all 3 narrators and their complex (but well defined) storylines. It's a treasure hunt towards self discovery and I couldn't have chosen a better time in my life to read it. Highly recommend for 20-somethings, or anyone!"
jordyn_dolan shared a tip "I loved this book! The writing was amazing and drew me in from the very beginning! Most of the time I can see where books are headed but this one had my mind blown multiple times! You won’t be disappointed!"

terrah_lindsay shared a tip "Loved everything about this except how the ending was wrapped up. Would have preferred it to stay a little more open ended. And the scene that was the equivalent of the old lady in titanic tossing the heart necklace was unnecessary."
kasey_mccoy_1774 shared a tip "amazing historical fiction. super fun"
alexis_foster_5260 shared a tip "It was a fun easy read. The story switched off enough to keep me going back for more"
jennifer_3351 shared a tip "Loved this book! It was an easy interesting read. Transports you to another time and place, takes you on an adventure, and has a sweet message underneath it all. This book follows 3 different women, 2 in the past and 1 in the present. Sometimes it gets confusing when books are written in multiple points of view, but I didn’t find that in this book because it was always obvious who you were reading under. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a lighthearted easy book about secrets and discovery!"
f._turner shared a tip "Love the parallel stories across time. A little bit of mystery. Touch of magic. Big female energy. Some darkness and desperation, and just a dash of hope."

ea_7884 shared a tip "Just awesome. It’s like a kind of Outlander meets Harry Potter, but the lead characters are strong female leads."
whitney_williams_8395 shared a tip "This was a great story, terribly executed. I felt no suspense. It telegraphed every pass, and I found myself waiting for the characters and plot to catch up to me. The writing itself was lacking in vocabulary and nuance. I really think the writer thinks we're all dumb."

michele_helsley shared a tip "Mystery historical"
