Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate
3.0
I enjoyed the premise and tangled story, but not the style of writing.
Everything felt overqualified. It was almost like the focus was to justify and to prove things that weren’t important to the overall story.
The descriptive language was also… off. Too much where just a few words would have conveyed far more. Very little during the few points more was truly needed. Some strange choices, as well.
It wasn’t life as it is, but life as a low-key daydream of a modern day fairytale.
