Even though I knew where the plot was headed from the start, Serle added a couple things I didn’t see coming, which kept it fresh.

I. Devoured. This. 

Started yesterday while waiting for a parade to stop and before bed and the. Downloaded the audio this morning and listened to in my 4 hour drive home at 1.5x speed so I could finish it. Right after one of the biggest twists my car decided it didn’t want to keep playing it and I was so annoyed. Listened to the last 20 minutes (sped up) in the evening before bed and I am just SO enamored. 

The writing is punchy and perfectly paced, the characters are endearing, and while it hits on some really serious stuff that I normally avoid, it did it in a gentle, light way instead of going the grief porn route, which I appreciate.

It had been a while since I last read a 5-star book and this was it.

Found it because of a TikTok review and once I started I couldn't put it down.

Daphne's story is so inspiring yet so heartbreaking once you realise she decides to jump into opportunities because she knows she will win, but is able to cut them so easily because she's scared to defy a piece of paper. It truly shows how it's in our human nature to want to know how everything's going to go and yet knowing there's magic behind the uncertainty

.

Maybe it is because right now I'm going through a very bad heartbreak, or maybe it is just because I loved the story, but the plot really got to me and I think I told every one of my friends how it goes while I read it.

This is not the first book I've read by this author but so far it's the best; looking forward to reading more from her.
