I loved this book! I thought it really showcased what it means to be human through three main perspectives. I really applaud Emily Jane for creating such unique and memorable characters, each with their strong voices, and tying them together beautifully. I don’t know if it was the time in which I read this and feeling like I’m living through unprecedented times, but I found each of the characters to be super relatable in some sense or resemble people I know. I think this book beautifully encapsulates the beauty of life, desire to belong, find meaning in one’s life, and what it means to venture into the unknown. Beautifully written, funny, poignant, and easily one of the most memorable books I’ve read recently.

Fun and lighthearted, sometimes inspiring, with some of the most annoying millenialisms committed to text.

I didn’t like this book as much as I liked the author’s Here Beside the Rising Tide.
Maybe it’s I listened to this one via audio but it wasn’t as oddly charming or as heartwarming as the further book.
