If you’re looking for a happy, romcom story, this book is not it, despite what the cover may depict. 
I like the letters that tell the story from different angles and going back in time , they bring depth to the story. 
Marin is a lovely character though it took me a few chapters to actually like her. 
I think Lucas was my favourite character, he has it all!

I wasn't a fan of the start and I didn't quite understand the double POV, but by half of the book I was hooked and it was such a great read. With a heart crushing ending, be warned. 
I loved Marin and her constant anxiety, the need to be in control and sacrifice everything for others, and Lucas.. oh boy, the perfect man. To be fair I loved all the characters and how they interacted with each other, I almost felt part of the Saba community myself. 
I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did
