This story resonated with me and is one of my better reads/listens of the year. Book endings can be funny business sometimes and I feel that this one was just about right. The book does start off in a strange place, in the middle of the story, but don't let that put you off because it doesn't take long for her to go back to the beginning of all that happened. ![]() This is a beautiful and sad story, one that pulled at my heartstrings.
