I’m crying! I picked up this book in the library because I realized the book I was actually there for was checked out. I’m so glad I picked it up.
This book is a great story about generations, grief, loved ones, mental health. Everything is just perfect. The way the author describes is like flowing water. It goes together perfectly.
I love the culture, the way she describes food, the town, the family. It makes me wish I had such traditions.
I loved Leigh and I understood her grief. It was like I was right there with her the whole time. I loved the romance between her and Axel. It was written so well that it was just pure love. I’m not a huge romance fan but something about this had me sobbing.
I love this book so dang much 5/5
