⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Natalie, moves from rural, Northern Ontario on the shores of Lake Temagami to Toronto for university. While looking for inspiration for her poetry class, she’s approached by Nora, an older, mysterious woman who Natalie feels inexplicably drawn to.

Over the next 300 or so pages, Natalie and Nora have a relationship that’s messy & complicated, while Natalie tries to make sense of her identity, the age difference, while juggling fitting in and meeting deadlines as a first year university student.

Fischer does a wonderful job crafting the whirlwind of emotions and addictive behaviour you feel during infatuation and the beginning of a relationship. The writing shows Natalie being pulled in a dozen directions and at times overwhelmed with emotions and the unknowns of being a young adult in their first romance.

Absolutely wonderful read, definitely recommend. Thanks to @netgalley and @penguinrandomca for the Advance Reader’s Copy for review.
