So good! I thoroughly enjoyed the alternating narration as well as times in this creative storytelling. While the heart of the story will madden you and have you asking “what happened?!” no fewer than 5 times, it’s well worth the read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.
WOW. This is a lush, captivating, slow-burn work that Chase knocks out of the park. For fans of Kate Morton or Susanna Kearsley, this is another standout author. 3 women, who share the same father, are drawn back to Rock Point at the request of their artist father, Charlie, for an "announcement". What happens over the multi-day stay is a reckoning with the summer that changed their lives forever, 20 years ago. I have a habit of trying to guess The Big Twist because...I'm impatient, perhaps? Anyway-I sent a text to my best friend about a quarter of the way through the book with my guesses. The one that I was initially least confident about, and had actually tossed out as somewhat of a joke, ended up being correct, in a way. The Big Twist left me shocked, and of course happened right when my family requested dinner. I threw sandwiches and cereal at them while never taking my eyes off the pages, so drawn into the reveal was I. Chase hooked me in with the three personalities of Laura, Flora, and Kat and kept me drawn in the entire novel. The Final Big Twist was done with Morton-like precision stabbing (if you're a fan of Kate Morton books, you know how her Big Twists feel when you put all the pieces together), making you feel the spectrum of emotions when you pieced everything together. This was an outstanding novel, and I highly recommend everyone read this.
