A gorgeous bouquet of delicious writing
I can‘t rave enough about this new book by Carrie Byrd. It‘s an absolute delight to read. I had to highlight so many passages to reread and savor!
There is Sadie, wonderful, warm-hearted, a glitter-bomb of poetic existence and a poet herself. You got to love Sadie and her special sense of fashion. She adores Anne – Anne, her neighbor is ice-queen personified – living a regimented life as she thinks it should be: food, wardrobe, furniture, relations – everything utter perfection.
The moment and the journey when both and especially Anne realize that there might be more than best-friendship between them is told in breathtaking prose, with deep insights into both characters (and the society which shaped them): Several times I had tears in my eyes, I had to laugh out loud about the hilarious moments, my heart ached and my heart cheered Anne and Sadie on. Read.This.Book.
Off to re-read more of my favorite passages.
I received an ARC. The review is left voluntarily.

Utterly captivating characters who draw you in and refuse to let go. The story starts with two women who appear completely opposite but the story allows them to grow beyond that through tough truths and bravery in surprising places. The hope that life continues to offer new surprises and love resonates throughout the book. It is a fun and joyful read that I could not put down. Do yourself a favor buy this book and prepare for an amazing read that you will carry with you long after you are done.
