This book was soooo good. I absolutely loved the magical realism love story through song. An absolutely magical story as always by Ashley Poston. I think her use of magic through her stories so just delightful. And wow what a little treat to see Lemon and Iwan.

The themes of life well spent and with who and how you spend it was so prevalent and beautifully handled. Fair warning: there’s a lot of this story dealing with dementia

and the reality of losing a family member to that disease

- so this could be triggering for some folks. But truly a beautiful incisive look at what makes a life “well spent.”

Finally, Sebastian and Joni. I’m obsessed with them.

Their magic connection (very Xaden/Violet coded) and the way they connected through their mothers, their music, and their friends made them feel fated (complimentary).

I loved it from the first page.
