Ratings and reviews

This book can hold your attention and lull you into a dream alternately. Beautifully written love story of things just out of reach.

A fun read about the difference of experiencing love and life and living life. Well written could not put it down. I felt I got inside the characters and the setting.

Couldn't put it down
