Intriguing, sweet, sad but beautiful book about families

Review by caterwauler

This book is really written with beautiful language and the story is laid out in a way that makes you not want to put it down.

Review by Unicorn_Sparkle

Well, this book made me cry, and happy, and mad, and- all the feels! A novel that def focuses on romance, but is soooo heartfelt and has a lot of thought put into it, y'know?? I recommend! PS: I agree with you, miriampjlibrary, it DOES make you weirdly hungry! Anyway, great book!
