Thank you to Atria Books for an eARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I’m convinced Emily Austin will always deliver the *coolest title and an ending that perfectly balances raw struggles and the hope that exists in everyday life. This book is broken up into three sections, and in the first one, I was a bit confused on where this book was going. The second section which is Margit’s was my favorite. It was so real and full of love, regret, sorrow, and ultimately, hope. The third section, Sigrid’s, made me so angry, emotional, and again, hopeful. There’s little plot to this book, but it made me feel SO much in the best way. This is such a compulsively readable book that leaves you comforted with the knowledge that it’s going to be okay.
