This was such a cute and heartwarming read!

The story is told in dual timelines, one set in 1987 and the other in the 1930s/1940s. The dual timelines was executed well.

As for the characters, I loved the three main characters, Harlow, Matt, and Tuesday. Harlow was my favorite. I enjoyed seeing her character grow and take charge of her life.

LOVED THIS❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️A fascinating story about Grand Central Terminal, an iconic landmark in NYC . Told in #DualTimeLines it follows two artists who taught at the Art Institute housed in Grand Central from 1922- 1944. Excellent pick from @Librarybelle #LiteraryCrew

Glad I stayed with this book. Told in #DualTimeLines 1957 Japan & present day USA, we meet two young women, Naoko & Tori and the man who binds them by love and a secret. Fascinating piece of history too. Emotional. Wasn‘t a fan of the audio narration. #Booked2023

TrishB I enjoyed this one 👍🏻 2y
Cinfhen So sad @TrishB and that maternity home 🤬 2y

My first thriller by Alex Finlay and definitely an author I‘d read again. Audio was a mixed bag…it‘s a multi cast narration but one of the readers had this annoying over exaggerated tone which drove me bonkers!!! Still a great #twisty plot told in #DualTimeLines - I loved the 1999 Blockbuster setting - #BeKindRewind

BarbaraBB Good to know. I loved his 2y
Cinfhen Im definitely going to add that one for next year @BarbaraBB 2y
Megabooks I liked ELF better, and the narration was better too, but this was definitely enjoyable. Great review! 2y
Cinfhen Good to know @Megabooks 😊🫶🏼 2y

Needed a breather from some of my heavier nonfiction reads. This is fun so far! #DualTimeLines a copycat killing? 15 years since a murder took place at a NJ Blockbuster, 4 teens were killed only one survived. Now 4 teens are killed at an icecream parlor one town away and again there‘s a sole survivor.

BarbaraBB Ooh sounds good!! 2y
Cinfhen It‘s the right type of seasonal thriller @BarbaraBB with some really solid twists!!! So far I‘d recommend 2y

As a huge true crime buff and Internet sleuth, I would have fit right in with the Kill Club. This thriller had everything that I love in a crime story: Satanic panic, the 1980s, witch hunts, illegal drugs, and gruesome murder.
