This was no doubt one of the best books I have ever read. Very clear 5 Stars!
I did not know what to expect going into it but I couldn't stop once reading. I read it all in one day and cried so so much. It was beautiful and so well written but also so extremely hard hitting.
Mhairi McFarlane is incredible at describing. I felt immidiately immersed in the story and even though I didn't like all the characters and disliked some decisions they made, they all just felt so real. Like real humans with real problems.
I think the best experience you can get reading this book is knowing nothing about it so I don't want to say anything more. This book made me really emotional and it's a story I doubt I will ever forget.
I can't wait to read more books by the author because everything I've read so far was amazing. Definitely one of my favourite authors now!

This book gave me all the feels within less than 24 hours of plowing through it. Oh my!
This book is not just a book about romantic love, but also about platonic love between friends. And about loss and grief.
I would’ve loved to read more about Eve and Fin as a couple, because I did fall in love with them.
Edit: thinking more about it, I gotta admit that the ending was a bit too rushed for me. Some much happened on the last 50 pages, that I wish the book would’ve been a bit longer.
