I’m sitting here after 10pm weeping because I just finished this book.

I cannot explain how incredible this book is!

The writing? Immersive! The setting? Stunning.

The characters were so wonderfully human. Imperfect, yet perfect for who they are with. Hallmark worthy moments with real life mess.

Theatre galore. Food references that will make you hungry.

You will smile and laugh and weep. 

Found family? Absolutely. Growing? Learning? Yes. Yes.

Hope. So much hope.

Second chance.

Joss is going places with her amazing writing and I will cheer her on every step of the way!
