I figured I would enjoy it well enough, but WOW did I get way more than I expected! The journeys of Emilia and her aunt Poppy. The family drama and secrets surrounding their family. It was distressing, devastating, and painful. I thought "How? Why?" My heart was crushed.
I thought I had an idea of where this book going when I started it, but boy was I wrong. In the end, I felt both broken and filled with joy...I sobbed like a baby.
This book made me feel so many things that I didn't have a choice but to give it five stars.

As a girl with an Italian grandmother and German grandfather, Poppy and Rico's story hit me in a different way,
If nothing else, the book taught me so much about hope and determination, that no matter what obstacles lie before you, "it's possible." This was a cathartic getaway and poignant reminder to choose love, life, and joy.
