Absolutely beautiful it may even beat out beach read for me
emotional hopeful mysterious sad

i literally have no idea how to feel about this book. i was vibing until halfway and i wanted to yell “get to the fucking point??” like i do not care about margaret’s great grandfather/grandfather and it feels like we spent more time on them than we did her actual life. i liked the idea of this book but it easily could have just been two books. also…the ending sucked? like why was the main point of the ending alice’s relationship w her mom when it literally was barely touched on during the entire book? not the worst book i’ve read but i just was wishing for it to be over in the second half.

I’m deeply biased but I loved this book. Loved the romance, loved the themes explored, loved her writing.
