5.0

This book just spoke to me as an overthinker. Even though this book started slow, the ending was absolutely beautiful and was wrapped up so neatly. That completely made up for the slow start.

I’ve learned through this book that there is more than what there is to see. While the person next to you might seem like they have a perfect life, there maybe be some things going on in their life that isn’t all happy and perfect.

I can’t explain how happy this book makes me feel.

4.5

I loved this book. I rarely read books outside of romance. This book obviously had some romance in it but that wasn't the main focus like other books I read.
I enjoyed all of the characters and how they interacted. I cried at a lot of the parts! I would 100% recommend this book. I would love to read more of this author and I loved that she explained the inspiration for the book at the end and that allowed for great insight!
