But even more daunting than the trials ahead is the truth they've long forgotten: how it felt to be in love and why it mattered.What readers are saying: "Like a fairy tale told with a wink—whimsical, warm, and weird in the best way." —Goodreads reviewer "The perfect palette cleanser between heavier reads.
