It’s 3 in the morning, I’m wrapped in a soft blanket, and have a box of tissues next to me. This book absolutely ruined me, which I did not expect at all. I thought this was just going to be a cute little travel love story, which it was, but it was also so much more than that.

The characters felt so incredibly real and authentic. I could feel the love and grief and the awkwardness of some moments radiating off the page and hit me like a fire truck going full speed. It was insta-love, which I normally despise, but with Field Notes on Love I just completely ate it up. It was so believable, if I them I would have fallen in love too.

The absolute best part of this story though is Nana. She is hands down one of my favourite characters ever, and is exactly who I want to be when I get old.

This is such a beautiful story; it somehow manages to be both beautifully simple but also very intricate at the same time. I would highly recommend this. It’s so much more than a love story. It’s about love, but it’s also about family, loss, finding yourself, and following what you know is right. This is a story that will stay in my heart for years to come.
