This was cute, but nothing special. It had some lovely quotes, but the relationship was too insta-lovey for me. They felt too focused on each other – I thought Ash was going to mourn the loss of her family more, but all she could think of was Poppy.
I did like the illustrations – the roses! The moths! – and I loved Esen and Dev.
Maybe I'm too old now for YA, though.
