Fantastic opening line and full of so much amazing prose. I genuinely didn’t expect to love this book or feel super emotional while reading it.
Unless you’ve read this book, you probably can’t understand this:You can’t root for Sophie and Peter to get what they both want because it just isn’t the same.
There are so many highlighted sentences and tabs in my copy, there was just so many moments where I wanted to write down my thoughts and at the same time hug both characters.
I was impressed with the ending too, because it’s not the kind of ending you’d typically expect. While it’s not my favorite of Rachel Lynn Solomon’s books, it shows how incredibly good and powerful of a writer she is and has evolved since this book.
