Talk about a slow burn! BUT I think it was perfect considering the characters’ personalities. This is the first book I read by this author, and I already have the next one lined up. I enjoyed the writing and sense of humor. The characters were beautiful people. Everything felt realistic, and I think that's what I enjoyed most. There wasn't any unnecessary drama or miscommunication. When something happened between any of the characters, they worked it out almost immediately. I felt calm while reading it. 
It's a beautiful story of love in its various forms, acceptance, grief
(Ora basically lost her mom twice; it'll make sense once you read it)
and growth. 

How I Rate Books
I rate based on resonance, re-readability, and whether the book randomly resurfaces in my thoughts. 
⭐ 1 – Nothing stayed or DNF. Wouldn’t recommend.
⭐⭐ 2 – A flicker, but no fire. Finished out of curiosity or willpower.
⭐⭐⭐ 3 – Just good. Enjoyed it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 – It clung in soft ways. Worth a revisit.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 – Lives in me now
