I absolutely loved this book! The story kept me hooked and the romance storyline was simply adorable. As a person who lost my dad at a young age I really resonated with that urge the MC had to know her mother and look for stories of her everywhere. This story made me cry so many times but it was such a cathartic experience. Kalie is an incredible writer and this is a powerful debut. Thank you for creating this story and sharing it with the world. 

I plan to do a more in depth review at a later date but also wanted to get a review out there whilst I am fresh from finishing the book. I shall update this when I have finished the full review 💖
