An absolutely beautiful story with a fairytale and almost dreamlike vibe. I cried. I laughed. I swooned. I cried (a lot). I craved lemon pie and I don't even like lemon pie. Did I mention I cried? Poston has a way of writing the grieving process that feels so real and raw and it rips your heart out but at the same time makes you want to yell THANK YOU because you feel so seen.

While this is a love story about Clementine and Iwan, grief is very much a third main character. Please find and heed content warnings.
