"'I’ve always thought of mosaic as this big metaphor for my life,' she says. 'All these jagged, incongruous pieces…' She holds up a small shard of milky jade-green glass. 'These are like the things that happen to you. But if it’s laid out a certain way and if you take a step back from it, it makes sense.'"

This wasn’t my favorite Elin Hilderbrand book, but it certainly wasn’t my least favorite either. The fantasy element was new for her (at least from what I’ve read) and was a fun, welcome addition to what was otherwise a cute story about a found family, though it may have had a few too many characters and side stories. Some of those were wildly enjoyable, others weren’t as engaging, and a few probably didn’t need to be included at all. But as an Elin book, it delivered exactly what it promises - beachy vacation vibes, mostly likable characters, and a feel-good ending.
