I picked this up in the little store/makeshift library at our safari camp while in South Africa. The only area that we could access WiFi while at the camp was in the common area where we ate and we weren’t there very often and I was so paranoid about packing for this trip already that I didn’t pack any fun books, just some non-fictions (that I still haven’t finished reading, naturally, so be on the lookout for The Genius of Dogs and another that I can’t remember the title of). This prompted the trip to the “library.” On that bookshelf is where I found this book.

In order to justify all of my words, I need to acknowledge that part of the reading experience for me is how I attained the book and where I read it.

I read this book in June of 2019 (it is now March 2020) and therefore my details will be poor. I also read this book in less than 48 hours so all of the information was not retained. This book did a good job of getting me interested right from the get-go. I’m a sucker for the neighborhood drama plot line. Again, this isn’t going to be a great review, I needed my little bookshelf page to be a little more robust, but I finished the book in two days, give me some PROPS OK. Anyways, there were a lot of moving parts and it got relatively easy to figure things out just before they were about to happen, which I don’t love, but I continued on and was not surprised in the end. For people who like a little mystery mixed with things that could actually happen in real life and then throw in some sprinkles of romance and BAM. You have the only fictional work at the library at the Garonga Safari Camp.
