"𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬. 𝐈𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐬."
If there was ever a moment for me to stumble upon a book I knew nothing about...this was it.
It was unexpected and unique, and I completed got lost in it.
The way that Ashley Poston handled grief was so comforting, and it brought a bit of peace to my heart in the wake of a recent loss.
Florence and Ben are such a delight-their corny jokes, their heartfelt chats...I just couldn't put this book down.
I am sure there are people who won't connect this way. People who find the plot too out there, but I think if it is the right fit for you, you will feel like this book sought you out and gave you something you didn't know you needed.
