Not my favorite of Leigh’s - I did like the scene and the writing, I found it beautiful but I wasn’t super into the characters though I did love me some Valentina. Part of it could have been listening to the audiobook (no shade on the narrator - she was amazing as she always is). I did like the change of pace of the story for Leigh though - I look forward to reading so many more stories from her :)
