 This was  sweet and heartwarming romance between Desta and Elias in Ethiopia. The descriptions of the sights, food, and people made me want to plan a trip! Both Destra and Elias have complicated lives, but at their core are just looking for love and direction in life. Celebrating their connection was a highlight of the story, especially with how Destra slowly adapted to Ethiopian life. This story definitely lives up to its name.

This was a great read. In such a short amount of time Herrera was able to establish a series of believable, rounded characters and their interrelationships. The star of the show was obviously the romance between Elias and Desta. It was just SO. SWEET. I could tell that they had really deep feelings for one another, but they also had amazing chemistry.
