Really engrossing but feels exploitative near the end when you find out that Gardner never wanted the book to be finished or published.

A great sentimental read about strong women overcoming sordid pasts and combating domestic violence.

Night Road | Kristin Hannah

I'm not sure the painful, sad parts of this book were worth the end. I've read other Hannah novels that were more satisfying.

Loved, loved, loved. The storytelling is perfect and I can't wait to read everything that Bunche has written.

I love the story but it was definitely written by a white guy before people cared about sounding racist.
