Enjoyed the easy to read writing style and the sometimes poetic verse. I like time travel/magical realism but this was hard for me to even suspend belief enough to understand. Or maybe I’m just not smart enough to follow. Felt for Eamon and June’s characters and their struggles with how to deal with pain and loss. Just good story telling, and that’s what I need!

✨ “You may have ruined my life, June. But first, you gave me one.”

Young spins a tale where survival means stepping into uncertainty — where love, loss, and legacy weave across generations. For readers of V.E. Schwab or Alice Hoffman, this is a haunting, atmospheric novel that asks what we risk when we open the door to change our story.
