I gave this a 7.5. Some parts were too creepy for me when I read it through audio book. It was a fast read though and I did like the romance aspect of it. We were all wondering why the daughter was SO mature, that part was unrealistic

Before We Were Strangers is a heartfelt, emotionally immersive story about love paused by time and circumstance. If you adore nostalgic romance with strong emotional undercurrents and aren’t put off by an emphasis on feelings over plot twists, it’s an easy five‑star read. However, if you prefer narrative intensity or realism in conflict, you might find it a bit saccharine or slow in parts.
