This book does everything it sets out to do and more! I honestly didn't expect to receive such a reflective period after the main characters have their affair--and I love that this is provided. The story holds a central relationship, but the "romance" (of sorts) works as a metaphor. I love a good whole-story metaphor. This story is short but packs a punch. It forced me to relive my first love and healed bits of my heart where I didn't know the stitching needed replacement. 4.5/5 (b/c the ending makes me mad & annoyed, but it does what it does).
