Read the whole thing in my camp chair with my feet in Lake McDonald in Glacier. Slow start but I enjoyed the middle and end part of the book better!

I loved this book! The summer setting, the food, the magical apartment, it has been a lovely cuddle.
And it made me think about my granny, I still miss her, the grief part really resonated with me.

Great premise. Some plot holes that don't quite tie up. A light hearted fun read.

why hadn’t i picked this book up sooner. half of it is highlighted, i think this is a book everyone should read once in their life. the combination between grief and self exploration was beautiful and i loved watching clementine grow into herself years later. the reveals came at the perfect moments and the way the timelines synced up kept me turning page after page. i will 1000% be buying everything this author publishes in the future (and this comes from someone that usually doesn’t like magical realism or time travel in books) i adored the romance, iwan was a dream, the friend group was so sweet, i don’t have a single negative thing to say about this book
