I loved every second of this. I listened on audio and, while the Canadian accent of the narrator wasn't perfect, hearing this story rather than just reading it was lovely. I love books focused on friendship and what it means to be a friend and this story does exactly that. Normally I can wax poetic about books I loved but honestly, this one took me by surprise. It's so much deeper and more emotional than I expected. I loved Anne and Miriam and following Heather on her journey to discover her family through the well-kept secrets. If you're interested in multi-generational storytelling and multiple POVs, I'd recommend adding this one to your list!
