Review
I can’t believe this is Kaylin McFarren’s debut novel! I can understand why it has received literary awards. I myself was touched by this book’s strong ability to bring back the emotions I had before and after my papa died. Out of all the other books I’ve read by Kaylin, this one almost made me cry. The story felt so real and, in many ways, I can relate with the characters. This is possibly the only book that is hard to review because it reminds me about a lot of things in my past and it makes me emotional. Nevertheless, I’m just glad that the story ended well.
Overall, I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. It imparted life lessons and pulled me into a myriad of emotions that I thought I had forgotten already. This book has a beautifully written narrative, well-developed and relatable characters, and many touching dialogues. I highly recommend this book to readers who want a story about love and forgiveness.
