It was lovely to be caught up in the fond memories of the main character. Not much happened plot-wise but this worked so well for the fleeting nostalgia storytelling, and even then it felt like a lot had shifted by the end. The last few pages made me feel unexpectedly sad - I don’t think I’d realised how emotionally invested I’d become. A great representation of important and loved moments in your life that you can never have again in the same way.

In love with “They sometimes went to watch the sun come up just for the pleasure of it — a sort of gentle joy that suits those entering life and those leaving it.” (Page 743)
