Oh gosh, I knew this story was gonna be an emotional one and it really was. It felt really bittersweet and is such a complex love story.
Will, a young musician back in the 90s, with a very promising career ahead of him falls in love with extremely talented artist, Emily. They seem to be the perfect couple in love. However, a few years later that all changes.
From that awful day back in July 1999, Emily has been living with so much grief. Fast forward to 2016, a single mother with a teenage daughter, life has pretty much been on hold for Emily. There's been no desire for art, no love life, she's just existing really.
When Liv her daughter uncovers that her mum knew Will Bailey back in the day, she can't quite believe it. Liv is determined to uncover what her mum has been hiding. What she does discover will change the course of hers and mum Emily's life forever.
I still can't believe this book is a debut novel! The duel timeline and different POV's really make this story even more heartfelt and emotional. Exceptional story, which did make my lip wobble quite a few times.
Oh Will 🥺🥹
