The Good Widow

The synopsis had me already feeling sad but intrigued by the situation. I was shocked with the bluntness of the writing, especially in the beginning. There was a concern in the back of my mind that I thought because of the beginning of the book that I had nothing to really look forward to. I was wrong. The more I read, the more excited I felt about the story, and I wanted and needed to know more! There were a few things I predicted in the beginning of the book that ended up being right, but the surprises outmatched my predictions. The plot twists are what kept me reading, and eventually, I knew that I didn't have a clue what was going to happen next. The writing style made it easy to read and had me hooked.
