idk really fucked up for this book to b about great synchronicity in life and falling in love despite traumas and conflicts this does not affect me at all…..

but also this picked up speed and intrigue for me as the characters aged although the timelines of their stories was confusing to me like i thought sarah was a teenager at the same time emily was having her affair and it was all whaaat … but they act so humanly and believably its really beautiful

Such a beautiful and heartbreaking story. I absolutely loved going on this journey, even though it was hard sometimes. Listening to the stories of these 2 women was amazing. The hardships they endured to find one another just to be suddenly torn apart again, was devastating and so real. But that’s what I liked most, how real it was.

4.5 stars, rounded up. This book sunk its claws into me and refused to let go until I had devoured it, and I don't regret it one single bit.
