Good lord, Fearne Hill never disappoints- this book was sublime, hooks you in from the first page and doesn’t let go at all. The story is surprising, utterly charming and a bit heartbreaking, told beautifully with a sensitive emotional lens. I am going to do my level best to avoid any and all spoilers because this story needs to be experienced the way the author has written it. I went in blind and I cannot recommend this one enough, it’s an absolutely delightful, emotional, read with spots of sparkling banter shared between the protagonists. Eti truly blew me away and I loved how Nico loved her.

At its core it’s an absolutely stunning story of finding your person, your person to love, your person to lean on, your person to crack you open and help you fly. Absolutely loved Nico and Eti’s story, told mostly from Nico’s pov, the emotional depth across this courageous story just wrung me out. I havnt read a book from this author that I havnt absolutely loved and this is another one that will stay with me, becoming a favourite to revisit.
