The Peculiar Garden of Harriet Hunt by Chelsea Iversen

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
This book started out so promising. I loved the wild garden; however, I got to the middle of this book and just did not care about the characters or what was happening with the plot. Therefore, I decided not to finish this book.

Wow! The last hour of this audiobook is full of shocking twists that I did not see coming.

I highly recommend the audiobook version of @alicewriterland’s latest book. The whole production is on point with fantastic narration and sound effects that really bring the story to life. 

I also loved the setting (remote Scottish island), unreliable narrator, and the different POVs. All hallmarks of a Feeney novel and why her books are must reads for me!
