Aprilthebookqueen's Book Journey
The prose alone is worth it. It’s soft and lyrical without feeling try-hard, and it made the whole story feel intimate in a way I wasn’t expecting. I kept finding myself rereading lines just because of how nicely they were written.
I also want to mention the way it’s narrated, because I usually don’t like books that use “you” at all, but this worked for me. It felt natural and fitting.
The whole book has this quiet, aching tone to it. It’s not loud or dramatic, but it lingers. It’s the kind of story that sits with you after you finish, not because of big twists, but because of how it handles love, loss, and time.
Overall, I really loved this one. If you like prose-forward books that are gentle, emotional, and a little bittersweet, I’d definitely recommend it.

Seeing someone’s review is what made me put this on my tbr honestly. I’d never had it on my tbr before and suddenly made it my next read and got the e book immediately. It was a great decision.
