The Rhode Island town of East Quay has returned with another tale of two lost souls finding each other. Both Gail and Romi are troubled women from very different battered and tragic circumstances that immediately draw you in. Interestingly, those circumstances are the forming foundation that nudge them together as if they had to go through the pain to get to each other on the other side. The journey is worth it, as is their story and the characters that surround them and support them. I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book has both good and bad sides. I was actually in love with descriptions of Romi's cravings, her fears and habits of living practically homeless life and sleeping in shelters for years. On moments I was heartbroken, how realistic the details sounded.
On the other hand, I had a big problem with Gail-Romi relationship development. There were practically no development at all - there weren't time to create chemistry between them; I feel like it was matter of few pages between the beginning of something happening and love statements. I would've preferred more build-up and slower development.
