5.0

A short story about a family torn apart by grief and how they find their way back to each other.

This was a super short read that was interesting! I've never read a book this short before. I think it was a unique way to tell a story, where my mind was able to creatively fill in what there wasn't time to describe.

Great palate cleanser after a long or more dramatic read! I think I will do this more often :)

A bit cheesy in places but very readable. Johnny came across as a bit of a stalker to me!

Somehow in 36 pages you still feel the same spark of angst, love, longing and magic that her novels bring you.
