Wow wow wow wow wow. I feel so lucky to have been alive to read this. Emily Henry writes the most beautiful prose all while tackling huge themes of life, death, love, grief, and time in such tender ways. I was constantly rereading sentences because I could not believe how perfectly the described a feeling or place. The magical realism in her YA books are always so intriguing and filled with mystery. Oh and she’s so funny!! She so perfectly describes what having a teenage crush feels like (“At the sound of my name, whole forest grow from samplings into moonlit redwoods beneath my collarbones.” Like???) The romance was a great little treat. This is absolutely my favorite of her YA books. Wow.  I will always always want more romance books from her but I will be so happy if she ever dives back into this genre. Buying a physical copy asap because I basically highlighted every sentence in this book. 

“I was just a moment and you made me forever.”
