This book was one of the most beautiful books I’ve read this year. I could probably go on and on about the intricacies of how Ashley used weather and emotions to show the tension between character, how real and relatable the characters are to our own lives, how deeply you can connect with them even if you don’t have the same challenges as Joni and her family, but I’d end up reciting the whole book at that point. For people who love Emily Henry’s work, it’s that but with a magical realism that has you screaming for more.
