2 authors picked Even Though I Knew the End as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Polk’s Helen is damned by her own choice and is offered a chance to undo that. A chance to live with the love of her life for what years may come. Who wouldn’t take that chance to have hope and love again instead of the certainty of damnation and the hell of no longer seeing the woman you love forever more?

This heartbreakingly beautiful tale of love and hard choices wrapped in the search for a killer brought me to tears multiple times.
