I heard about this book a few months ago and was ecstatic to see it arrive at my local library. The art work was gorgeous and I love the story itself, but I also feel that there was a lot of underdevelopment in the story. There were many opportunities to flesh out on the relationship between Elle and Mari that were missed out on which would have served to show how it was possible that they would meet so many years later and instantly fall back in love. three are some that can argue that they never fell out of love but I think Elle was the only one who was realistic in what it would take for them to be together and what it would take after all these years and each had made their own family.

Don't get me wrong I loved the story. It was sweet and it was pure and it gave me all the feels I just wanted more from it, which may be more on me as a selfish reader. I also would have liked to see the full story rather than have a footnote with a recommendations or not to check out other volumes in the series. Overall, would recommend but I wish there had been more to it because I really wanted more of the story and to see how everyone, including their spouses and children were able to adjust to this change that lead to these women being able to live out the rest of their lives happy and with each other.
