This was an interesting look into the lives of sisters and a lonely young man that both moved at a fast pace yet not quite fast enough to lose the reader. It was inspiring, heartwarming, and heartbreaking all in one. Even though the character motives are understandable to a certain extent as the corresponding personality traits were established early on, there was still a sense of irritation from me surrounding the entirety of one specific character which I did not enjoy. The coincidences present in the story were made almost to be motifs for loss, love, and new beginnings but in my personal opinion the fact that they were all coincidences just served as plot function and pulled me from the story a little bit even though I did respect the consistency. Overall, a very good read!

This was a really lovely story. Like a new age Little Women. So many levels of love - I liked the format and that it covered many decades. Sweet ending. 😭
