"Because when people died, they took their voices with them. I wondered if they knew how much the people left behind would kill for their sounds one last time."

3/5 stars

This was quite an emotional, yet lovable novel! I adored Mr Daniels and Ashylyn's relationship for the most part because their bond was exceptional. Additionally, I like that it was not all about physical chemistry (at least in the beginning) but rather a genuine connection. Also, I nearly teared up when he asked her to marry him! 🥺💖


"Because maybe home wasn’t a location. Maybe it’s simply the people who you were surrounded with that made you feel as if you could be whoever you wanted to be. Maybe home was friendship."


On the other hand, although there were several cute moments, I felt that it also had several clichés. Indeed, during some parts, I was feeling quite uncomfortable and was cringing heavily.

Having said all that, I genuinely understand why other people would really love this book; it personally just was not for me.



Other quotations I liked:

I hated funerals, but then again, I believed it would be weird if I loved them. I wondered if there were people who did love those kinds of things. People who showed up just to breathe in all of the sadness as a sick form of entertainment. You know what they say—you can’t spell funeral without fun.

Memories were scary, how they could break you with simply your own thoughts.

Another small step. “But I like you a little for taking him in tonight.”
By ‘hate’ I’d meant love. And by ‘a little’ I’d meant a lot.
