5.0

This was the first book written fully in verse that I’ve read cover to cover. I’m thankful to have met Olivia and Eden and even more thankful this story is out there for young adults to experience. The ups and downs of a first love is captured beautifully through verse throughout the book.

A beautiful book written in verse. I started reading when I woke up and had it finished before dinner time. We learn what it’s truly like to have more than one home. My favorite Arabic proverb in the book sums up the theme perfectly: “She makes you feel like a loaf of freshly baked bread.” In Jude’s words, “It is said about the nicest kindest people. The type of people who help you rise.”
