Wow. Incredible. AMAZING. I thank the heaves and the earth for my short term memory cause I WILL reread the hell out of it and fall in love again. Now I remember why I liked reading.
But first, where can I find an Aunt like Clemetine’s? We all know from the synopsis that she died, but your heart will break into pieces throughout this book. You will want to take Clementine out of this book and hug her until you can’t.
What’s simply not to love about the characters? The LGBTQ+ 🏳️🌈 representation through the side characters, the intimate connections, the way the aunt made me want to fall in love with life 🥹?
I truly felt inspired to run outside in the rain and say “f*ck it, I want to go on vacation” after reading this book. It made me want to buy a passport and travel to another country. Let’s go to Iceland 🇮🇸!
I want Iwan. I wannnnnnnnt iwan. I’m not usually a sucker for strangers to lovers or friends to lovers, but this was done so well and it was like crack in a book. I almost immediately understood all the connections at like page 30.
This is a HEA, deals with a BOATLOAD of grief, and will make you fall in love. Please pick this up. It’s slow at first but I promise it picks up.

Ashley Polston did it again. Such a beautiful story of grief and missing your loved ones. Even the ones still with us. The authors note makes it even more precious. I love love love this book! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
