The start of this book was quirky and instantly captivating, just how Callum find Lilah when he first sees her on the ferry with bare feet, juxtaposed with the rest of her outfit which very much says ‘business. The story draws you in and before you know it you’re over halfway through.

Lilah and Callum seem a match made in heaven. The right blend of different and similar, in fact they have a conversation about this in the book and the whole conversation was wrote in a beautiful way.

Lilah is passionate about the environment and all living things but has a very spontaneous outlook on live, and takes every opportunity she can to enjoy herself. Callum on the other hand has a good job, but doesn’t seem to have experienced life in the same way Lilah has.

Seeing their relationship develop and blossom was amazing. At times they were frustrated with eachother, but still found their way back to where they belonged, with one another.

The story is so beautifully written. Callum’s viewpoints are written as a retrospective, which was really interesting way to read it, and you really get how he feels at all times. Interspersed with Callum’s story are diary entries from Lilah, drip-feeding you information, so you leaen more about her, knowing something is wrong, but are kept guessing until the reveal. I was certainly wrong with what it was.

The last 20-30% of this book was so emotional, I literally needed to read it faster and faster, like ripping off a plaster. It was so sad, but incredibly touching at the same time. Kelly Rimmer has cracked it with this book!
