“My entire world is you, Felicity. Without you, I have nothing.”

This book has been on my radar for a little but now - and even more-so once the loosely linked to it book The Surrogate came out - and I'm so glad I made time to read it. Felicity and Leo's story is absolutely beautiful - from a hilarious meet-cute, to a summer of love and loving, to heartbreak and twists and turns I didn't see coming. I couldn't put this book down - it was just that good. It made me smile, it broke my heart, it made me cry but it also put everything back together. Absolutely amazing!!
