A Soul-Stirring Masterpiece on Healing and Second Chances
I am speechless. I’ve gone through an entire box of tissues and haven’t moved since I started reading this at 11:00 AM. I am in awe of how beautifully broken—and then stitched back together—this story left me.
This is a breathtaking look at a first love that never truly disappears, even when life pulls people in opposite directions. When Eleanor and Grey find themselves back in each other’s orbit years later, they are met with the heavy weight of grief and unresolved feelings. While
Grey tries to maintain a professional distance, Eleanor’s persistence reveals the man she once knew beneath the walls he has built.
The writing is raw, genuine, and deeply evocative. I particularly loved the character of Karla; the author handles the intersection of disability and trauma with such authenticity and grace. It is rare to see difficult topics written with this much heart. If I can convince you to read one book this year, let it be this one. I’m already crossing my fingers for a spin-off for the supporting characters!
