Out of all the novels I’ve read, this easily is the most beautifully written one I’ve ever read. Miss Rebecca Ross has this way with words, and holy TOLEDO is it simply stunning.

I cried. I got so giddy and kicked my feet. I cried some more. A story about true, deep and unending love. 

The story itself too… sheesh. This bad boy is deep. Haunting and beautiful and magical. Don’t come into this one for a lighthearted read. But come in for a great story, one with a cliffhanger!!

Check trigger warnings!!

This is a work of art. Read it.

I was going to give this one a 3.5 star rating, mainly because I felt some of the events were a bit rushed like

Spoiler

Roman breaking off his engagement, him joining Iris and the whole wedding

Spoiler

. But ultimately, this won me over so I’m leaving a 4 ⭐️ rating.

I don't know what I expected going into this, but I absolutely adore this story. The letter writing, the magic, the love, the heartbreak.
