Never before have I craved a croissant as much as I did whilst reading this book. Almond croissants were here there and everywhere and it’s a crime this book doesn’t come with a free sample. 

I absolutely adored this ray of sunshine of a book. It was endearing, wholesome and just so incredibly heartwarming. I adored the cast of characters (the twins were the real stars of the show) and thought Millie and Finn’s relationship was gorgeously written (he buys her a kitchen aid and I just… is there anything more perfect?). I also thought the explorations of grief, mental health, toxic family dynamics and abusive relationships were really well done. 

All in all, this was a really lovely reading experience and I’m already incredibly excited to read the next book in this series because I had such a good time with this.
