An absolutely delightful read. I enjoyed listening to it, and often was excited to get back to it. The writing felt so sophisticated and well edited. Every sentence seemed quote-worthy. The emotion evoked from the storylines -the heartbreak, the grief- was heavy. I feel that the author perfectly distilled the feelings of being abandoned by someone who leaves a hole in your life so vast that they are all you can think about. highly, highly recommend.

False advertising. The MC is a Librarian but that has nothing to do with the plot of the story. Poorly plotted. Missed opportunities. Overrated. Disappointing.
