This is so much more than just the paranormal/magical romance that I thought it was. The way the book evolves from something that seemed lighthearted and about finding love to what it ended with was so magical. This book takes you on an absolute journey and I devoured it in one afternoon.
I was an absolute sobbing mess at the end of it but I love it so so much. Easily one of my top reads this year
The last bit where Aunt Analea returns to the apartment 7 years in the past where Vera got to reunite with her made me a sobbing mess. The last few paragraphs and lines of love staying always.. killed me.
And the way that everything linked with each other and made sense was so good too!
Ashley Poston had me gasping, smiling and sobbing in one afternoon. My heart has been put through a journey and it’s gonna take some time to recover but such an amazing read ❤️

The last few chapters made a bawling, sobbing mess out of me. Ashley Poston’s description of grief and the process of accepting a death was so relatable which made me bawl my eyes out (they’re still pretty puffy).The last bit where Aunt Analea returns to the apartment 7 years in the past where Vera got to reunite with her made me a sobbing mess. The last few paragraphs and lines of love staying always.. killed me.
