I LOVED this book!! It’s hard to put into words how this book made me feel - it made me laugh and cry. It inspired me and had me itching to read more.
The writing is done SO well - the metaphors and descriptions are so beautiful and all the characters feel so real.
The story was creative and all the characters were unique and lovable (minus Lee) and I loved how relaxed yet relevant the supernatural aspect was.
The story explores grief and love in such a lovely way. Even the cover is great - you understand the little details so much more after you’ve read it.
I didn’t go into this expecting to love it so much, but that just proves you can’t always use other people’s opinions to make choices about what you think you’ll enjoy.
I’m glad I’m read it and loved it, and I hope that if you pick it up, you do too!! Will definitely be reading the seven year slip when I get the chance :)
