Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this book. I’m reading all of EmHen’s backlog (YA) novels, and I have to say, I was really impressed by this one, not that it’s a huge surprise. 

Magical realism isn’t my typical read nowadays, but this had me hooked from the start. One thing that Emily excels at is painting a picture. Her descriptions make you feel as though you are experiencing it right along with the characters. And we all know that she knows how to write a good book boyfriend. 😊🫠

There is an exploration of family legacy, love, loss, and grief in this book making it much heavier than I originally expected, but I think that’s what makes this so book so beautiful. Don’t read this if you aren’t ready to sit in your feelings. 🥹🥺

4.5 stars rounded up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
