Iโve heard this compared to Normal People and I can see it, but I liked this one SO much more. The writing was beautiful. The story is heartbreaking and heartaching and lovely and full of real hard life and complicated emotions. This story encompasses grief, regret, growing, learning, maturing, struggling, love, selfishness, and selflessness. I loved every minute of it. โฃ

๐ง I listened to the audiobook and it was a win for me. Highly recommend. Though donโt let your library audio lapse in the middle of the book so that then you have to buy the audiobook like I did.
