Although I liked certain parts of this book, there were other parts I didn't like at all. I loved the setting and the setting description a lot. I also liked the premise of the book. It was a fairly quick read, but I did have trouble with the flow of the story. The writing seemed jilted at times, and it didn't flow as smoothly as I would have liked. The main part of the book dealt with young Olivia and her relationship with her recently returned father. He had been largely absent during her youth. I found him to be very unlikable. I also wasn't super fond of Olivia's finance, he just didn't seem all that supportive. I really liked Olivia and her mother and step-father though. So an average book for me. 3/5 stars on GoodReads.
