People have been recommending Hilderbrand‘s novels to me for years. I finally tried one, and I didn‘t love it. Definitely a beach read, but I felt like I couldn‘t connect with almost any of the main characters. They were all so incredibly selfish. This is part of the trilogy, and I have no desire to read the next one. Just not my cup of tea. If you love her books and think this was the wrong one to start with, tell me which one I should read!
