I wasn’t really sure what to expect- I love Katherine Center, and I’m  excited for the Netflix movie based on this book. I, however, had a feeling this would be a little more serious than her other novels and was pleasantly surprised by Helen’s little quips. I also love the character growth from Helen throughout. She clearly had a lot to work on under the surface, and it was fun to have her work through it. Her journey is an important reminder for us about practicing gratitude and not ignoring the things that are right in front of you.
