5.0

There aren’t words beautiful enough to adequately describe what this book made me feel. How this book made me feel. That could ever explain the pieces of me that now exist within the pages of The Secret of You and Me, between Nora’s and Sophie’s tentative glances and touches and dance around one another, between their lips as they whisper. 

I wish I could experience this story for the first time all over again. I wish I could map out my own love and hope and fears for Nora and Sophie and feel it all over again, a million times over. I just knew, from Jane Austen’s quote, that I would love this book unconditionally. 

I will always cherish the way this book made me feel: all the passages I reread for the butterflies and the heart racing, all the times I stopped myself and contemplated starting the book again from the beginning just so it wouldn’t end. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it.
