This book is breathtaking. I love Eve’s writing so much. It is filled with vivid colors and heart. She immerses you into the story and you don’t want to pull yourself out. I had trouble putting this book down. 

Arthur and Trevor’s story is a vivid journey of acceptance and love unlike I have ever read. The portrayal of Arthur’s everyday life and struggles as an autistic person was real and in depth.

Trevor was a light in the dark, beckoning Arthur, enticing him out of his strict routines. Their love of animals and nature brought them together but Trevor’s gentle hand and complete and utter acceptance of Arthur just as he is, is what bonded them for life. 

The landscape of Newfoundland is a character in and of itself in this book. Nature, birds, and wildlife in general is as important and intricate to Trevor and Arthur’s story as their own relationship journey, and Eve’s descriptions of this landscape made me immediately want to get back into hiking enjoying nature, lol. 

I don’t think I can adequately portray how amazing this book is. All I can say is I promise it is worth your time.
