Beautiful and devastating, as I’ve come to expect from Ashley Schumacher.

I don’t know small-town life well, so I was very confused why Weston was considered bad news (just the leather jacket?) but that aside, I really enjoyed watching Anna and Weston fall in love. Until, as the synopsis spoils, things get really, really sad.

I think the most heart wrenching element for me was learning about the Kaua’i ‘ō’ō. Never getting over that poor bird.
