In The Girl on the Cliff, there are many characters, storylines and two different times. However, Riley does an impeccable job of writing and weaving them all together into a seamless story for the reader. It's the stories of Grania and Aurora, who is the girl on the cliff. The two families go way back, spanning almost a hundred years.

Secrets and multiple family dynamics take main stage in this page-turning saga. It's interesting to see how the two families interacted as time moved on and how they react when Grania meets young Aurora. I really liked reading about Grania's past, how she came to meet Aurora. I also enjoyed the letters and whatnot that showed Aurora's family before she and Grania met. It was really something special the way everything came together. Long after the last page was read, I'm still thinking about the story and the characters. Very poignant. Highly recommend!
