5.0

I was hooked from the moment I read the summary on the back, and I ended up finishing it over the course of two days!

The characters feel extremely real. They talk, look, think, and feel in the most crystal clear way I have ever read in a fiction book. The characters grow on you, even when their actions are down right cruel. You root for then when they do something right, and you keep your fingers crossed for them when they struggle.

The premise is that a group of unlikely friends become each other's found family. There is love, loss, heartbreak, romance, happiness, and healing dispersed throughout. You can tell the author really poured her soul into this book.

This book feels like being wrapped up in a warm blanket with a cup of tea.
