A true love letter to the power of books and to how fictional stories make us who we are, the story will have you chuckle, cry, and think....
I did have some minor issues with it mostly around
A lot of reviews mentioned that
Check on those you care for, even if they are 'doing fine'.
Nevertheless, a great read and a compelling debut novel. I hope to see more from the author soon!

There is quite a bit of grieving in this book. Something to consider depending on your mood or where you are in life.cerilouisereads's review against another edition

- I could have done without the romance (something I thought I would NEVER say lol)
- I wanted so much to dive more deeply into Aleisha, or I wish that the book would have taken place after
Aiden's death . - Overall, it felt like this book could have been more
- Regardless, I quite enjoyed it. On a critique level, I would rate this a 3.5, and on enjoyed a solid 4, so I averaged.
