Twists and turns, unpredictable
Easy read
Couldn't put it down
Just closed the covers and really hope someone will read my review and read this. If historical Romances are your thing I think this one will be one for you!
It's such an easy book to get into. I read about 100 pages in one go and finished it quicker than most books I read.
I just found the story compelling, gripping and inspiring. It's not your typical romance, as the romance side is more on the back burner (I'd still put it in the Historical Romance category) and it's more about independence, hard work, determination, women's struggles in that era, friendship and family values. It's not often I find a book I don't see one fault with so I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. It's not a 10 as I save my ten for my utmost favourites, although this is blummin' close.

An intelligent and often uncomfortable script
Gripping study of racism in small-town america
Flighty artist Mia (Kelly Washington) moves into the picture-perfect community of Shaker Heights Ohio with her daughter Pearl (Lexi Underwood) and is welcomed by busybody mum Elena (Reese Witherspoon). But as racial tensions, teenage passions and secrets from the past emerge, a pressure-cooker of tension builds.
This is an outstanding drama in the mould of Big Little Lies, and equally supported by an outstanding cast. Kerry Washington is Emmy nominated and justly so. But equally impressive is the young cast, particularly Lexi Underwood as Pearl and Megan Stott, who has a magnetic screen presence as Izzy and who I would predict great things for.
It’s a script that buzzes with uncomfortable racial tensions in these days of Black Lives Matters, and is gripping to the end.
I just hope that - unlike Westworld - they call it a day with this one perfect series.

Picked this one up on a whim. Didn't really know what I was letting myself in for but damn, this was one gripping read. For a debut novel this really is well written, great characters and more twists than a twisty thing. There is a lot of jumping around time zones so if you don't like that sort of thing then go read something else. Personally that doesn't bother me and I found Blake's narrative extremely entertaining. I worked out the 0642 pretty quickly as it was fairly obvious but the twist after came as a surprise (and answered a question that I kept asking myself throughout the book). The ending is totally gripping, a real bloodbath of a finale, and I couldn't help but chuckle to myself in the epilogue. Overall an incredible debut from Blake and I will definitely be reading the follow up book at some point in the near future.

Astounding
What an absolutely astounding accomplishment! The painstaking time and artistry on its own is stunning. Added to the thoughtful and gripping narrative, I could hardly tear my eyes away. I loved the technique of moving to black and white when the tale turned to the past. The beauty and realness of each character brought so much life to so much paint. It gives a whole new appreciation to the work of this master.

Tear jerker
Great adaptation
Contains spoilers, click to show
One of my new favourites. I loved this from start to finish. Lots of "tear jerker" moments. Loved the doomed romance story line. Everyone deserves love even if you know the risks. Beautiful romance. They won't let their illness stand in the way of their love. Risking everything to save her life as well had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see it they both survived.
