Well, the version I have is the large print version and sadly Goodreads doesn't have that. So my progress isn't going to be accurate on there. Anyways my first thoughts on the book is that there is a lot of information being given to me and my brain doesn't want to process it all. I do have the audiobook for this book and I tend to space out a lot. I think it is safe to say that this isn't going to be a book for me. If I end up DNF the book, I will let you know. This is on my TBR list, so I figured I would give it a try. Hopefully I can at least get halfway through this book before my brain decides that it can't take anymore. I wish I could tell you want is going on in the book but I can't. All I know is that the book is talking about different characters and I have no idea how they relate in any way. Maybe if I stop spacing out and actually listen to the book, I would know more.

It is hard listening to this book. I have to relisten to chapters because I end up falling asleep listening to them. It also probably doesn't help that I'm listening to this before bed. The story is focused on this mysterious little girl. Who is she? Where did she come from? Who's daughter is she? The storyline is interesting. I just make the mistake of listening to it after a long day of work and other household activities. I'm about two thirds of the way through the book and we still haven't solved the mystery of the little girl. To be honest, I'm pretty sure that is the only reason I'm still listening to the book. I want to know the mystery of this little girl. The girl who was dead but came back to life is what the books says. For a while the little girl was being taken care of a family that had lost their little girl two year ago in the book. They believe the little girl is their missing daughter. But I had just got done with a part where they went to a fair and another person had claimed the little girl to be their daughter, taking her away from the family that had been taking care of her. The family is now in shock over the situation because it was so sudden and should have been traumatic for the child. But the child shows no reaction to anything really. There is something strange about this little girl and I plan to listen to the book more in hopes that I find out what it is.

With only twenty percent of the book left to listen to, I had to return the audiobook. I tried to renew it but I guess someone else wants to read the book. Looks like the mystery of the little girl will have to be on hold until I can get this book again. I'm a little disappointed but it is what it is. Hopefully I can get it back quick but with how many books I have on hold, I'm not too optimistic about it. Sorry I couldn't finish the book in a timely manner. But I do plan on finishing the book. Fingers crossed that it comes back to me quick.

I just got this book back. I was expecting a little bit of a shorter wait but beggars can't be choosers. Sadly, I have to finish an audiobook I've already started while waiting for this book, but I will finish this book as soon as I can. I want to know the mystery of this little girl and I'm just happy that I will finally find out. Hopefully, no one requests it because I messed up on my time for borrowing the audiobook. I gave myself 14 days instead of a full month. Wish me luck on this.

Well, I finally finished the book. We really don't get a full answer on who the little girl is. But other secrets get revealed. I wish I could tell you what I read on the book but I feel like it would ruin the ending. I guess I could tell you what I thought about the book. I enjoyed it but I didn't love it. Honestly, it felt like it was too slow and descriptive. It feels like the author focused more on the setting and building a mystery than focusing on the plot of the story. In my opinion, the book could be a little bit shorter if we got rid of some of the words that I felt like weren't needed. But I guess we can just say that I'm pretty picky when it comes to my reading. The book got three out of five stars on Goodreads from me. It's an interesting tale but it is a bit long. It's a book not for me but maybe for those that don't mind the different point of views and how all of the character's stories somehow tend to wind together in a way. Which I did find that interesting. But if you don't mind slow books that have a bit of mystery to it, this might be the book for you.
