If you loved Evelyn Hugo I recommend this!! Honestly can see this being a new sad/comfort read for me.

Right away I knew I’d love it because Lenni the narrator is so funny. It made me laugh, it made me tear up, then it made me (lightly) sob. I liked the writing, the concept, and each of their (heartbreaking) stories.

 I picked up this book because I wanted a tearjerking read and whew, it definitely delivered. It broke my heart, but in a beautiful sort of way. I very quickly fell in love with the characters, their stories, their personalities, and their relationships and while the ending was not a surprise, I enjoyed the twists and creative ways the story unfolded through both Lenni & Margot's voices.
