This book literally was comforting but also had me bawling on and off for hours. Highly recommend. It is sweet, then bittersweet, and overall beautiful because of both of those elements.

4.5

I am shocked by how much I loved this book. I had very low standards, but ended up really appreciating it. What I feel like is done best is the relationships the characters have with each other. Louise and Katrina may have been my favorite one. The characters were written to honestly that they were believable and beautiful and I feel like the ending was perfect. Not an easy read, but a beautiful one.
