I loved this book. This author’s writing is so moving. I liked the characters and the plot and how everything was connected. This is a great story that I intend to revisit some day.
p.s. Eddie and marguerite’s love was enchanting

10/10 Phew, what a touching book. Exactly what my soul needed. This will be one that I keep and come back to in times of hopelessness. My heart is smiling through my chest :)

Meh. Was hard for me to get through. Don’t think I’ll read part 2. In the beginning the story was fine and I do understand what the story is trying to convey, but I didn’t really like the characters, stories or writing style. The book makes some weird points about life, but also some beautiful ones, I just don’t think the good outweighed the bad (for me).
