I’ve yet to read a book by Anna-Marie McLemore I didn’t like. As always, their writing is beautiful, the characters and relationships brilliantly developed. I loved Ciela and Lock and Jess. I loved the pastelería and the secret orchard. It was an emotional story, for sure, but also a very good one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Highly recommended to all who can handle the content.
