LOVED this book! I actually found it in a tiny free library on my street and it feels like I was meant to read it. Cried multiple times, not only was the story very sweet and inspiring, some of the passages and observations about what it’s like to live and be a human are so moving, it made me want to annotate my books the way I did in high school again.

Honestly I just don't think this was a good book. For the fact that it was written so recently I was surprised by how almost colonial the narrative was in the way the main character (a 70-year old white British lady) spoke about Ibiza. It very much felt like outdated language that didn't need to be there to add to the plot (but also what plot? I could not get into it).
