"A book about love, and the heartaches and joys it can bring. A book about denial, about fear, about regret, and the choices we wish we could make again. A book about bravery, about healing, about forgiveness, and the wonder of connection. A book about the magic that exists in the smallest of things, be it a good friend, a kind gesture, or a favourite book. A book about making peace with your past, and rushing towards an unknowable future. "

"3\5 ⭐ I found the main character kind of annoying, almost like she was trying to hard to fit a cliché"

"The way the story slowly revealed pieces of the main character's past was clever and kept me turning the page. Every character in the story was interesting and added richness to the plot. The overall theme was also super touching. Would recommend to anyone that needs a cozy rainy afternoon read! "
