I’m always a fan of Jojo Moyes and this book did not disappoint. The rich world of characters and their familial joys and struggles felt real and so relatable. It was fun to watch everyone do the hard things to become better versions of themselves in this book. I loved it.

Such a heartfelt and thought-provoking novel that tackles themes of forgiveness, acceptance, and belonging. The character development was some of the best, and most charming, I’ve read in a while. A beautiful take on family, what defines it and how it defines you.

“This is life at this age, she muses, a million goodbyes, and you never know which are the final ones. You just absorb them, like little shocks, trusting with each one that you’ll be able to keep moving forward.”
