A good story but had I realized it was about a woman with Munchausens I'd likely have skipped it. The portions in Buenos Aires were very good & Dunlop's writing didn't disappoint.

Solid week of reading, but looking forward to when I have some dedicated time in the coming days.
Here is a recap of my reading this week: http://obsessedbookaholic.com/2019/11/18/weekly-reading-round-up-november-18-201...
This is first book I have read by Andrea Dunlop, and I am now going to go back to her backlist. I am not sure how I missed this book, but it 100% in my wheelhouse as this is family drama to it‘s core.

Sometimes I have trouble with split perspectives (past and present) and that happened here. I was ON BOARD for the past perspective, but not so much for the present.
I had to finish it to find out what happened, but I felt this fell short of what I was hoping for.

You shouldn‘t be afraid of the future...there was always going to be an after ⛷💃🏼🍷
If I needed/wanted to run away, Buenos Aires is where I‘d run too. Interesting preface but took a little to long to get to what “it” was, which made it not feel quite as bad as it should have. I liked her time in BA and her skiing history but the rest was too drawn out. I like it but not 5 stars worth.
Beautiful cover for what I am sure some will find as a beautiful story, but I struggled with this one. Katie (Liz) has a traumatic event happen that is somehow related to her sister but it takes most of the book before we figure out exactly what that is.
While I liked parts of her story &thought it well written, I didn‘t really care for Katie &after so many chapters of not finding out what happened with her sister, I stopped caring about that too.
