Oh! So many feelings after finishing this book!
Firstly, I really did not expect it to start where it did or go where it did (well, maybe a bit but not entirely).
A suicidal woman in her 40’s and a bride-to-be in her 20’s helping each other through their respective lives and loves was the most unlikely, hilarious and poignant relationship I’ve read in a book for a long time.
I love 19th century literature so loved those references and how it all tied in to the overall plot and morals of the novel.
You really back Phoebe the whole time(I mean I was really sad at the start and struggled to read through her depressive thoughts - but that’s the point right!!) and the open ending was a glorious and thoughtful way of sending the character off on this new chapter of self-love and self-worth. So happy I read this book!
