Excellent book; couldn't stop reading; finished book in 3 nights
Perfectly detailed in the emotions, the surrounding moments and people. Ms. Carlino skillfully fills you details of the sights and sounds in this book of friendship, love, laughter, tears of joy and of pain of loss.
This story pulls the same heartstrings as A Walk to Remember and Me Before You. It is a story of being lost and finding a special person, then losing them again. The characters are so real I feel like I know them. There is love, pain, joy, understanding, and steadfastness all within these pages. Seth became my favorite character in the cast of great characters. Read it and find out why
Beginning was a bit ehh but then it quickly got my attention and I wanted to keep reading to the end. Easy read. Great vacation book.
This is one of those stories that is hard to review and best to experience by going in blind with an open mind. It’s an emotional and bittersweet journey that really digs itself into your heart. A story about life, love, loss, healing and finding yourself. You’ll probably want to have some tissues handy! 😘This was my first Renee Carlino book and I can’t wait to check out more from this author. I listened to the audio, which was fantastic. I devoured it in one sitting. Highly recommend!
