I really really adored this book, every now and then the sheer serendipity of the story lines and the way certain characters reacted to things felt...unrealistic and took me out of it a bit. But fundamentally, it’s a story isn’t it and not meant to be completely realistic. It was full of big love and hope and gorgeous character development and realistic lesbians!!!! Left me with a warm feeling.

I don't quite get why everyone loves this book so much.
The characters are really lovely and the storyline is sweet. The authors style of writing is interesting, because in a way ith feels like a still life (in a good way).
However, it felt like eating to much lemon cake ( In the beginning it tastes amazing, but after a while you are just not hungry anymore, but you still have to finish the cake and you are starting to feel sick. If you are a person that can eat endless amounts of lemon cake without feeling sick, I strongly recommend this book)
