Note: Thank you to Lori Edelman from Get Red PR for providing me with an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Very well-written and very balanced. It's not overwhelmingly miserable nor light-hearted and that balance gives the novel a realistic feel. It is quite an uplifting read and will definitely make you feel like for every bad, there will always be something good and sometimes the good comes unexpectedly but if we keep trying and living, there will always be something to look forward to.

I love that Josie is both compassionate but not to the point that she's a pushover. She's very relatable; someone who's trying to find her place in this world. The characters were done very well and they were all quite memorable because there were several characters introduced, some more important and prominent than others, but it was easy to remember who's who.

I'm not really sold on the romance aspect. I don't know...I just didn't feel it. To me, it felt more like just a very good friendship.

It did feel like the ending was a little rushed with the plot twist(s?) and the reveal but it was still satisfying.

For someone who very rarely reads historical fiction, I really enjoyed this one. I think it's bingeable and heartwarming.
