Perfection. No notes.

This book put water in my eyes in the prologue!! I knew I was done for after that.
This was such a unique and special read. I’m finding that Rachel is easily becoming a favorite author of all time. These aren’t your typical YA style books. They’re also written in a way that adults will enjoy, and enjoy I did!

This was magical and atmospheric, as well gut wrenching and beautiful. I think this story will linger in your heart long after the last page.

I went into this blind, and honestly, best decision ever. Thank you guys for my early copy. :)

It’s easy to get swept away by the narrative, carried by the weaving emotional landscapes that accompany the spellbinding backdrop of this mountainous love story.

The dynamic between our protagonists carried authenticity with a believable enemies to lovers storyline in the context of magical realism, and presents two main characters full of relatable flaws and vulnerability as they grow through obstacles that are both otherworldly and incredibly human. While the dialogue is witty and at times quite sharp, the overwhelming themes of hope, longing, strength, courage, and love offer shades of complex and endearing characters.

Throughout the book, several metaphors anchor important messages for finding, acknowledging, and honoring the power within each of us as we grow through challenges. Whether our Higher Self is forged by magic or the meaning we make of our experiences, there are countless lessons to draw wisdom from elegantly mirrored throughout the pages. I found myself falling in love with love and the art of storytelling all over again.
