Wow! This is a phenomenal debut! I almost passed this book up, but the cover made me do a double take 😉, and I am so glad that I read this! This book took me by surprise, and just sucked me right in. There were many emotions throughout this book, and I even cried early on in Chapter Two!
I feel that I cannot give even the briefest description of what this book is about, because then I feel I would be giving away major spoilers. I suggest picking this book up, and just reading the pages. You will fall in love with Honor, Tom, and Grace. You will feel their thoughts, and feel each ounce of pain and grief that they go through.
This book is unlike any book that I have ever read, and I love the uniqueness. I learned many new things/facts from reading this book, and I now have a new favorite poem, “Hymn to Beauty� ~ by Baudelaire.
This book is about grieving, it’s heartbreaking, it’s about finding love again. I just loved everything about it! I say add this book to your shelf immediately as it is worth it!
(4.5 stars- rounded up!)
Many thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and the author for a DRC of this book which I had the pleasure of reading. All opinions are my own.
