A good book, definitely not one for you if you need realistic plots…
I’m always a sucker for a mother daughter story, and almost wish it was even more prevalent. I did find the time jumping to be very sudden at first, there was a little lead up to it but all of a sudden Katy’s mother at 30 is there. But granted, I’m not sure how else you would introduce that twist.
Overall, a sweet book, definitely made me tear up a few times.
