Some of the most beautiful prose I have ever read. Not a romance, more of a story of rebirth and finding yourself and love after a traumatic event. Gorgeous book. Listened to it on audio and the narrator was wonderful.

This was such a fun romance read. I love a workplace romance and enjoy when authors make them work so well in historical romances. I very much enjoyed the characters journeys in the story and found the entire cast of characters delightful.

4.5

Beautifully written memoir. The author was able to express so many emotions in her writing that took me as a reader on an incredibly intimate journey. A lot of tears were shed in reading this book. I listened to the audiobook and the author narrated. She did an amazing job and I am happy that I chose the audiobook version.
