the author has a beautiful way of writing prose that clicks with me, and finds a way to bring mundane plots to life. while the side characters fell kind of flat, the main romance was still very sweet- though, i do wish it started earlier in the novel so we actually got to see more scenes of them together! the ending was also kind of inconclusive and not super satisfying, but i really liked emilie and was glad to see her having finally found the starts of an identity and passion carved out for herself.
