This isn’t a contemporary romance book, but it is - it feels more like a book about life. About coming to the middle of your life, confronting grief, rediscovering who you are, but all with sprinkles of romance throughout. The most loving parts of the book were when the romance and grief intersect.

I have my critiques with this book, like how it felt like a queer plotline for straight people. The angst felt lackluster.

But I enjoyed this, the pros outweighed the cons.

<strong>Blubbering mess</strong>

Mariana’s writing never disappoints, each book she has written has given me so many feelings.

Aurora’s story is refreshing and heartbreaking at the same time. Leaving her former life behind and starting again in the town she grew up in. Everything in this story lined up perfectly.

Once again, Mariana has confirmed that I absolutely love slow burning romances and can bring the patience to read a book of 500+ pages in a day if the story captivates me.

She made me cry, she literally made me cry. If that doesn’t tell you to read this book!

I love this book so much. As a newbie to the MZ way of life, I was unsure if I would at first, but I really really do. The way this book is written is raw, emotional and inspiring, and I fell in love with each and every character in this novel. It is, quite simply, beautiful.
