I don't even know how to review this book.

It's one of the most emotionally engaging books I've read in a long time.

If you’re anything like me—a lover of love, believer in fate or a sentimental dreamer—drop everything and read this book . . . now.

I had an inkling this was going to be something special when I picked it up, but I had no idea just how hard this story would tug on my heart or how emotionally invested I would become.

This book is an astonishingly beautiful and raw look at what drives most of us—finding that one person who leaves a permanent mark on our soul and the desire to always keep them close. I believe this book will resonate with me for years to come.

This book is Love.
