This review contains spoilers around her aunts death. I normally don’t have reviews that contains spoilers but I was not prepared for how her Aunt passed. The way she talks about her emotions after her aunt unalived herself was extremely emotional to read but also done in such a beautiful way. On the topic of mental health, I typically skip authors note but as I listened to this book on audio and was in the middle of doing something, I kept it going. I ended up crying hearing the authors experience with suicide with her grandpa. It’s an extremely emotional note that captures the meaning of books and how weird grief can be. I’m not doing her author note justice.

Ashley has a beautiful way of storytelling. The words she puts on paper are pure magic. She writes stories that go beyond your typical romance novel and adds meaningful depth to them. She also creates unique stories that are filled with magic that make me so happy they exist. 

As I said before I listened to this story on audiobook and the same day I finished it, I went out and bought a physical copy so I could annotate my way through. That’s the thing with Ashley’s writings. Physical copies are a must. To be able to highlight quotes that perfectly depict grief, to why books are so magical. Ashley is a masterful and extremely unique  storyteller and I always am excited for what she will create next.
