4.25

"Promise Me Sunshine" is a poignant, slow-burn romance. The buildup between Lenny and Miles is expertly developed and feels so well-earned — both for them and us — when it finally happens. 

More than that, though, it's raw and honest. Cara Bastone has given us a beautiful example of grief and love and how complicated it can all be.

✨4.25 — rounded for Goodreads ✨

Thanks to the author, NetGalley and Random House/Dial Trade for the advance copy in exchange for my review.
