If I’m being honest, I wasn’t sure about this book at first. the pacing was a little slow for my taste and it took me some time to get into the story. but I decided to approach it with an open mind and kept reading, only to discover a heartbreaking story about love, loss, and the difficulty of navigating relationships. this book and it’s characters have really grown on me and I did end up loving it in the end.
