Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC! 

I genuinely enjoyed this novel. It was the perfect book that suited my mood. It had a great combination of passing seasons, romance, and it was a quick read. It has some heavier topics than I anticipated, so here is a fair warning. 

I loved the characters and how they developed. Bash and Sandro made each other better when they were together, which is pretty rare. They listened to each other and supported one another. 

This book also described the “noise” of so many emotions very well. I could really relate to Sandro and Bash. 

If you like of coming-of-age and self-discovery stories you will enjoy this novel.
