This book has gotten LOTS of buzz. Good job by the marketing team.
I kinda felt like this started as a short story and got stretched into a book. There is a love triangle, a farm, a motherless boy and a childless mom, and old flame, and a mysterious death. There are secrets and sacrifice, etc. But honestly, nothing really new happens here. I felt like maybe I had read this before, or that is a conglomeration of plots from other novels. The writing itself is really good though - soft and flowing and sympathetic, especially to our main character. But she does something pretty horrible without much backlash and that made me lose my liking of her. In the end I think everyone is happy but it just seemed unreal to me. Better if she had woken up in the last chapter and it was all a dream and now she is grateful for what she has. Meh.
