I really enjoyed this book.
The story was very genuine and honest while talking about taboo topics like depression, loss and trauma.
I really felt myself imagining the pain Josiah and Yasmen experienced through the author’s descriptions and story telling.
The only reason I’m not giving this boon 5 stars is because there were several points where the author seemed to over explain and over describe things that I just didn’t feel were necessary. This book could have been about 50 pages less and still get all the main key points in.
