Not what I was suspecting but delightful nonetheless! Tia Williams’ writing is so beautiful and her characters are so rich 

Around the 50% mark, when the direction of the plot was revealed, it wasn’t difficult to see how the story would play out. But the beauty here was in the journey, not the twists. 

I am not generally a fan of insta-love, but Ezra and Ricki had enough of the star-crossed, fated feeling that I didn’t mind it as much as I normally would. There was still that undercurrent of pining and longing that I love most

This book is magical realism done well. I’m very interested to see where future books set in this world will go

I couldn't have written the ending better myself. What a beautiful book and a stunning love story, not just between the couple but between everyone Ricki interacted with.
