Great book ruined by the ending.
This book is mostly excellent with interesting characters and very well narrated. Unfortunately I wish I'd stopped listening with 30 minutes to go. The ending completely ruined it.

First but not the last
This is the first Maureen Lee book I've listened to but it definitely won't be the last.
I love how the characters lives were interweaved so well.
