I adored this book and feel so deeply for Sara and Emilie. I was enraptured by their stories and couldn't put the book down.

It follows Sara and Emilie's lives separately from being teenagers to adulthood (mid-late twenties). Focusing on their grief, pain and loss and the hopefulness of finding and becoming themselves even through the reminders of their pain. You want nothing more than to see them happy on their own and more so together. The pull they feel to each other was palpable and had me aching for their happiness.

This book was beautiful, heartbreaking and bittersweet. It's life, with all its uncertainties and how we can choose to move forward, choose happiness and to live again with those we love, in spite of how painful our pasts have been.
