I really enjoyed the mystery component and how full circle the end was. My heart strings were being TUGGED.

Yet another time travel story, but this one comes with a creative and emotional mystery subplot that really just propels you through. Couldn't put it down after I started and enjoyed every minute of it. Writing is beautiful, lyrical, and immersive-- found myself re-reading passages just to savor them more.

Cinematically written, to the point where I could almost hear & viscerally feel the book as June experiences it.

High emotional stakes, wonder and mystery that kept me turning the page, a touch of fantasy and magic perfectly balanced on knowing and not knowing.

Wonderful. In the true sense of the word.

I know lots of people loved this one, but it just wasn’t for me. I found the time travel element to be confusing in a way that it impacted my desire to pick it up and keep reading. I think this was the longest it took for me to finish a book all year (8 days) which probably underscores how much this one lagged for me. It seemed like June’s confusion over her situation could have been resolved if those in the know would have just been more transparent, but I guess there wouldn’t have been much of a story then.

Perfect read this time of year, super atmospheric. I was picturing very cozy practical magic vibes. I’m still a little confused by the time travel elements and how it works but I love the characters enough that it doesn’t really matter to me :) Wanting to read more Adrienne Young!
