I reallly liked it!
Ik vond het leuk dat het meer was dan enkel een romance. Het realistic magical gedeelte was ook echt goed gedaan. En het koppel, de banter, de interacties, het eten. Ik vond het heeeerlijk.

The hype was well-deserved. Normally, I’m not a fan of books that shift between past and present timelines. However, this book takes a unique approach: it jumps between different moments in the present, while exploring the past for one character. It might sound a bit confusing, but I absolutely loved it!

The vivid descriptions of the food, the cozy apartment, and the aunt’s personality made me feel like I was living in the story. The way the character’s love for Van Gogh and the MET was portrayed was perfect. It’s an excellent book to kick off the new year.

It also raises thought-provoking questions: If given a choice, would you choose the past or the present? Would you stay in a stagnant career or take a leap of faith?

This book gave me hope for the upcoming spring and helped me shake off the post-holiday blues. Chase the moon and book that trip! Highly recommend!
