I admire her drive and determination to move on from her past.

I was really impressed with the depth of all the characters we meet, even the side ones. And there was just something so addicting about the way things unfolded that had me hooked. There are so many elements at play that I wasn’t always sure if my theories were sound. While we find out what happens to Ava at the start of the novel, there are still many unanswered questions that drive the narrative forward. I’m not sure if it was a larger focus in the short version or not? Regardless, it was a great way to enhance the story when it was there. I’ll admit, I thought the secret admirer aspect would play a larger role in this story. I never read the original short story but if I hadn’t know that tidbit from research, I never would have guessed.
