I’m always a sucker for a mother daughter story, and almost wish it was even more prevalent. I did find the time jumping to be very sudden at first, there was a little lead up to it but all of a sudden Katy’s mother at 30 is there. But granted, I’m not sure how else you would introduce that twist.
Overall, a sweet book, definitely made me tear up a few times.

3.0
I think the realization of the time change coming so late into the book really threw me off for a bit tho. Was also left with several open questions as to how it all happened and then went back to modern day. And I didn’t love the last few encounters with Adam and how all that went down.
Rating this overall a 3 for the time it took me to get into the book and unexplained twists, but ultimately left me with a warm cozy feeling at the ending.
