It wasn't bad but it just never went anywhere

I really like a lot of Lisa Jewell's books but I find that because there are so many, they're hit and miss a lot. This one was a miss. It wasn't bad, and I was entertained enough, but it was just "meh" overall. So while I wouldn't recommend it, I also wouldn't necessarily dissuade someone from buying.
I guess it sort of reminded me of the type of book an author just churns out to hit a deadline

Feel Good Family story

I love this author and so far, after reading three of them, I am still loving her books— great stories that keep you flipping or listening without wanting to stop, til the end.
The only issue I had with this book: even though I loved the performances, I do wish a male actor would be utilized for the male roles. It is more realistic. Thank you for asking my opinion.

Brotherly Love

Such a nice book…. Enjoyed how at the end the 3 brothers made up and realized how important family ties are!!! Being part of a big family with lots of conflicts and disagreements is nice to read how love prevails…… Love it!!!

sweet story

Very sweet book. I thought it was the usual mystery and realized it was a lovely relationship connection book. Nice departure from Lisa Jewell usual genre.

Just okay

Kept my attention but not my fav Jewel. She is such a good writer and narration was excellent but probably will not stay with me.
