Reviewed by AntoniaOne of the best books I have read in a long time. I was completely taken by surprise. I fell in love not only with the story and the characters but also the beautiful writing. I couldn’t stop. Brought out all kinds of emotions and I read a lot of passages that will stick with me for a long time. Every book lover should read it. It is the perfect length and so beautiful. I am in awe. It made such simple everyday things seem wonderful and is proof to why human kindness matters and if given out will also come back to you! So many people are fighting their own quiet battles and reaching out or just a small kind gesture (like gifting the person the perfect book) can change and mean so much.🤍
