This is just one of those books that I liked but am not in love with. The story was pretty good and the characters were ok. I liked the development throughout the story, but I felt like it was more insta love. Nothing against the book, I just prefer slow burns. Overall, a good book.

emotional hopeful inspiring sad fast-paced
Loved this!! Loved Emilie. I found her so relatable. Homeschooler, bookworm, writer… she was the coolest. 
Chatham was sweet and lovable. Maybe a bit perfect but how can you not like the guy?
Ayla was awesome. Loved her. 
Cindy. Precious girl. ❤️
I also ended up really liking and softening towards her mom. 

I love how the focus of this story isn’t just the romance. I loved seeing Emilie’s relationship with her mom grow and change. Also watching Emilie grow and heal. 

I love how Emily Dickinson’s poetry is such a big part of the story! It was beautiful. 

Overall, this was an amazing contemporary.
