Thisss one. Ugh it's been so long were a book made me smile and cry and just want to throw across the room and scream "whyyyyy??!!"
I ate up this book. I enjoyed the slight fantasy elements included in what seems like a story placed in like the 50s.
Iris was such a real character with flaws I could even see in myself. She had fears and worries that were so real to me. Roman was the same. They both annoyed me at first because they would say such mean things to each other and seem to just move past it. But that's probably were the enemies to lovers comes in. Which is one of my favorite tropes to read.
I don't want to give to much of the story away but it gave me all the feels. It has romance, travel, actions trauma, loss and so much more.
I would recommend to anyone.
