4.0
The plot was good and I loved that it didn't revolve around love. It did fall flat for me in the middle but picked up again closer to the end where I started to feel awkward for the main character. I had considered a 3.5, but it did make me think and reflect on my own relationships and ended up heartwarming which brought it to a solid 4 for me.
Set in Dublin, the story of Allegra, an outsider, and her journey to find 5 people that determine her future.

Favorite quote: "Sometimes I ache for home. Not here by the sea when I'm reminded of it, mostly I ache when I see nothing around me that reminds me of it at all."
