—Apple Books, Best Books of February

“[An] assured debut…Those looking for an inspirational story about one woman coming to terms with life and death will be rewarded.”

“Alongside the taut suspense, Hodge has created a likeable, sympathetic character in Kay, and fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild or Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone won’t want to put down this nail-biter.”
—Booklist
